Positions & Openings

Summer Positions

A Summer at Tamarack is more than just a Summer Job; it is an opportunity to impact the life of a child while learning valuable leadership and management skills.

Each year, we hire high school seniors, college students, and adults to fill our Group Counselor and Specialist positions. When screening potential Summer Staff, we start by looking for the following:

• Available and willing to commit to the full 8 weeks of camp.
• Strong work ethic and dedication shown through their past work experience and extra circular activities.
• Positive Role Models that are committed to helping our campers achieve personal growth and success over the Summer.

Working at camp is a challenging job, but also very rewarding. We hold our staff to an extremely high standard. Our Group Counselors and Specialists are supervised by Division Heads (hover thing, explaining) who check in throughout the day to provide feedback and coaching.
