WORK AT CAMP NEW FORK

Set on the scenic shores of New Fork Lakes, Camp New Fork offers an unforgettable experience for both staff and campers. As a staff member, you’ll spend your summer surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty, fostering outdoor adventure and growth in a supportive, close-knit community.

Campers will join us for five-day sessions, and you’ll be actively involved in creating memorable, impactful experiences for them—whether through leading activities, teaching skills, or simply being a positive role model. With weekends off, you’ll have time to relax, explore the area, and recharge for the next week of fun.

Working at Camp New Fork means being part of a team that values personal development, teamwork, and the magic of the great outdoors. You'll gain leadership experience, form lifelong friendships, and play a key role in shaping the summer of a lifetime for campers. Whether you're on the water, up a climbing wall, or helping keep camp running smoothly, every day brings new challenges and rewards.

All staff will be provided room and board.
