Priority will be given to candidates who can commit to the entire summer season.

Please note that an entire season commitment includes time off for the July 4 holiday, as well as the option to take a week off for a personal or family vacation (this is unpaid time that must be scheduled at the beginning of summer and is subject to approval by the Director of Summer Camp, based on institutional needs).
