Camp Augusta Job Listings & Profile

Camp Augusta is an 80 acre, non-profit, residential summer camp located in the Sierra Nevada Mountains of Northern California. We are a small camp with 90 campers per one to two week session and 50 staff. Our staff training begins May 17th so if your application is successful you would need to be here at camp for that date. We aim to help campers develop self-confidence, independence, social skills (emotional intelligence), creativity, activity skills, environmental awareness and appreciation, friendships, and healthy living skills while having FUN in a small, tight, true community set in a beautiful forest. Kids also learn what most modern children have forgotten -- how to just play and be a kid without television, video games, the internet, canned games, or social pressure.

We are a fairly rustic camp, the cabins are open air and don't have any electricity (the bath houses do have electricity and hot water). This area gets little to no rain in the summer so with the exception of the lodge, kitchen, office and living quarters, everything is outside. Counselors take their campers on an overnight once a week where they fall asleep looking at the stars. We are a small staff of about 50 that soon becomes like family. Being such a close community we are looking to know our potential staff as more than just a list of skills and certificates. Our staff application consists of six questions where we seek to know you better. The first question for example is "who are you?" Please check out our website at www.campaugusta.org. If you are interested in spending your summer with us, please complete the 6 questions with as much detail and insight that you can muster and send them to applications@campaugusta.org
