SUMMER STAFF

Frequently Asked Questions

How long is camp?

A typical summer commitment is about ten weeks long at our CA locations and seven weeks at our New England location, including a week of training & orientation at each. Each of our three camp locations has a slightly different start and end dates, especially if you are in a leadership role. 

What if I can't commit to the entire summer?

Apply anyway! We may be able to find you a spot for a partial summer commitment.

What if I'm able to work longer than the end date?

Fantastic! Let us know when you apply. We usually have staff needs post-summer.

What are the living arrangements?

Living in community with like-minded college-aged roommates is one of the best parts of the Hume Summer Staff experience. All summer staff are housed in shared dormitory-style housing with same genders. Counseling positions require staff members to reside in cabins with campers when they are counseling. 

How much will I make?
