  1. Make a difference in someone else’s life – do something that matters!
  2. Have significant responsibilities and learn real-world leadership, life, and team skills
  3. Make lifelong friends and future job connections with staff from across the country and around the world
  4. Earn a good salary ($3,300+) and actually keep most of it!
  5. Live and work in the outdoors
  6. Learn how to work with kids

Working at Sandy Hill is challenging, rewarding and lots of fun!

The Sandy Hill Staff is a team of 160+ college-aged staff from around the world who work together to positively impact the lives of our campers. While being a counselor is lots of fun, it is also a lot of hard work. Your job is to put the needs of the campers above your own and to help them to learn, grow, and have fun.

We hope you will consider joining us this summer!
