We have worked hard to create a facility and staff-working environment that is enjoyable, creative, positive, and perfect for the summer. You will enjoy coming to work each day. We are looking for people who see spending a summer at camp as something they "get to do" not "have to do".
We welcome any questions you may have please call or e-mail us with them.
Interviews are normally held in Manhattan or at Ramapo, but we are now holding interviews daily via Facetime and Skype.
