‘Camp’ Camp is a great place to share your skills, talents, and knowledge with a community of fun & adventurous LGBTQ folks from all over the country.  Our staff program is our version of a “sliding scale,” allowing those on a limited budget to still be able to attend and enjoy Camp.  Many of our Staff return year after year, as they discover that working at Camp often feels like play and makes their week a fun and highly rewarding experience. 

work a few & save a lot

Staff members at ‘Camp’ Camp are paid via a “work/play” compensation system.  Just over half of the people who attend Camp each summer do so as part of our Staff, taking advantage of the reduced fee schedule in exchange for working during the week.  The fact that over 75% of our Staff return year after year is probably an excellent indication that you can work at Camp and still have the best time ever!

Staff positions are available in both the Program and Operations areas of Camp.  The Program Staff consists primarily of our Activities Instructors, so those applicants must possess the specific skills and experience required to lead specific activities.  If you don’t have the requisite skills to lead an activity, all you need to be a part of our Operations Staff is a positive attitude, a good work ethic, and the ability to work well as part of a team.  Program Staff are scheduled during specified activity periods each day. (A typical day at Camp is broken into four activity periods, running either 90 minutes or 2 hours in length.)  Most Operations Staff are scheduled to work specific hours throughout the week as necessitated by their particular position.

Each Staff member – from Activity Instructor to Dishwasher – is vital in creating a positive Camp experience for everyone at ‘Camp’ Camp, so we look for team players who can commit to making their individual position their priority the week of Camp, while simultaneously modeling Camp’s culture of community, inclusion, and encouragement. For full details on what we expect of our staff, click here.

staff levels & fee schedule

Staff I (Staff member pays $1325*): Operations or Program Staff who work approximately 12 hours during the week and Activity Instructors who lead one (1) activity period per day.

Staff II (Staff member pays $1000*): Operations or Program Staff who work approximately 20 hours during the week and Activity Instructors who lead two (2) activity periods per day.

Staff III (Staff member pays $675*): Operations or Program Staff who work approximately 28 hours during the week or any Staff who works a combination of a Staff I and Staff II level position.

Staff IV (Staff member pays $350*): Operations or Program Staff who work approximately 36 hours during the week, Activity Instructors who lead three to four (3-4) activity periods per day, or any Staff member who works a combination of two (2) Staff II positions.  Staff members in this category are generally given at least 2-3 activity periods off during the week to allow them to enjoy Camp activities.

Staff V (Staff member pays $50-175*, depending on position): Executive Operations or Program Staff who work 40 or more hours during the week, any staff position requiring extensive “On Call” hours, or certain Team Leader positions which involve pre-Camp planning hours.

Staff VI (Paid Staff): Operations or Program Staff who work 45 or more hours during the week, Staff with highly specialized skills, or certain Team Leader positions which involve specialized skills and/or extensive pre-Camp planning hours.

Monthly payment plans are available for all levels of Staff fees. The earlier you apply and are accepted, the lower your monthly payments. (A $25 Payment Plan Administrative Fee applies to all payment plans.)

*All fees include a 9% Maine Use & Lodging tax.

 
currently available positions

Though we are hopeful that our 25th anniversary season will happen in 2021, our staff application process will not open until spring 2021 when we can better determine how the ongoing pandemic will be affecting travel & large gatherings. 

We’ll update this section in regards to ‘Camp’ Camp 2021 next spring!

 

For a virtual taste of the ‘Camp’ Camp experience, join us for ‘Camp’ Camp Plus, our ongoing virtual day camp for LGBTQ adults which runs through May 2021. Complete details can be found on our Camp+ page.

Our Campers tell us it's the amazingly fun & friendly people they meet at Camp that keep them coming back again & again. Here's one of those 'Camp' Camp people: Pottery Instructor Collette Bailey of Waxhaw, NC ('18-'20). Collette first came to us three summers ago and quickly become our resident Mama Bear, leaving the hubby and kids at home each August since to frolic with all the queers in the woods of Maine, showing us how to turn lumps of clay into fabulous little works of art. We're so glad she found us, and thrilled she'll be back for her 4th summer this August! ... 📸 Opening Circle, #campcamp2019⁠
