Staff members cannot fraternize with children outside of our day camp programs. "Friending" campers through various social media outlets (e.g. Facebook, Twitter, Instagram) is highly discouraged. 

Summer camp staff enjoy a job where they get to have fun! Just like campers, staff are able to play, craft, create, and make memories at camp. Former staff members always comment on all the friendships they made with their coworkers, the relationships they built with the campers, and the exciting field trips such as Six Flags, Ninja Nation, Adventure Landing, Nerfies, Rowlett Wet Zone, and more! While they are having a blast, they also learn skills that look great on resumes such as experience working with kids and with parents, customer service skills, leadership skills, public speaking skills by leading games and crafts for the kids, teamwork skills, patience, confidence, and more. All while earning a nice paycheck. Join our team and make this summer amazing!

- Counselors work around 40 hours per week. Directors work about 45 per week. Paychecks are paid every other week. 
- Staff Training Week takes place the last week of May, and the last week of camp is the first week of August. Therefore, this position does not interfere with most school district calendars in the area. 
- We provide t-shirts for staff to wear at work.
