CYO Camp
Is a faith community of caring individuals
dedicated to providing a
playful, fun-filled, challenging
Summer Camp experience
in a safe, rustic setting.
It is a place where children and youth
can discover their own self-worth,
develop relational skills,
become comfortable with and appreciative of
their natural environment,
and see all these wonders as a reflection of our Creator.
We appreciate your interest in CCCYO Camp. We have to tell you at the start: Working at camp is more than a job. A position as a CCCYO Camp staff member is extraordinarily demanding and you should only consider applying for a position if you love working with children and you are open to the personal and spiritual transformation that can happen within yourself and the children in your care. Staff members are on site 24 hours during sessions and receive time off each day. Staff also receive days off between sessions as well as limited time off during sessions in some positions.
Life at camp requires staff members to sacrifice their normal living habits and serve as role models to our campers. This job is not for everyone. Effective counselors are dynamic, energetic, and patient people who thrive on being outdoors and recognize that children need support and encouragement to become responsible adults. Successful counselors are open to their own personal growth on all levels – intellectual, emotional, physical, social, and spiritual.
While role modeling for campers in your charge is the most important aspect of your job, being a CCCYO Camp staff member also provides an incredible opportunity to develop friendships with other staff. CCCYO Camp is a very close-knit faith community with over 70 years of history and traditions. There is something special about living and working with people who share your enthusiasm for working with children and your desire to personally expand.
Our returning staff looks forward to staff training week where they have an opportunity to meet new friends and reunite with old ones as they are trained as nurturing childcare workers. The team learns time-tested educational and nurturing skills that transfer to multiple professional childcare and education positions. At the end of the summer, you will be amazed at the friendships you have made and the many ways in which you will have grown. See photos from past summers here.
Thank you again for your interest in Catholic Charities CCCYO Camp.

We generally give first priority to camp staff returning from previous summers and begin staff recruitment in December. We are
happy to receive your application at any time. Positions are filled on a rolling basis, which means there is no set deadline. After we receive your applications we will contact you if we are interested in scheduling an interview. Interviews generally take
40 to 60 minutes and may be conducted by telephone or in person.
