Why Work at Echo Lake?

Do you love working with kids? Are you looking for a fun and life-changing place to work over the summer? If you answered “yes” to these questions, then Camp Echo Lake might be the ideal place for you.

Echo Lake staff members come from all over the world, and have a variety of different backgrounds, but the one thing that they have in common, is that they ALL love working with kids to help them to reach their potential.

ABOUT OUR STAFF

• Over 250 staff members hired each summer to work with our male and female campers, ages 7-16.
• Comprised of college and graduate school students, teachers and other childcare and athletic professionals.
• We typically have an even mixture of returnees from the previous summer and new staff members.

STAFF REQUIREMENTS

• All staff members must have completed at least one year of college (or be the equivalent age).
• Potential staff members must complete an in-depth, personal application, go through the interview process and provide us with three quality references to be considered for a position at Camp Echo Lake.
• Depending on the position, all staff members must participate in a 7-14 day orientation prior to the arrival of the campers.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING THE SUMMER

• Being an Echo Lake staff member is a fun (but demanding) job. If you are looking for a quiet, “laid-back,” summer environment, then this isn’t the right fit.
• Staff members are expected to give the proverbial 110% to make the summer a success.
• The more that staff members put into the experience, the more rewards they get out of it!

HAPPY STAFF = HAPPY CAMPERS!

Our staff members are an integral part of making the summer a success and ensuring the campers’ happiness. We pride ourselves on making sure that your needs are met, and that you have plenty of time to “recharge your batteries.”
