 Three staff members, a Director, an Assistant Director, and a Counselor, lead each camp of 16 children.  We’re hiring for Assistant Directors and a Counselor for each camp.

Summer camp positions begin June 13^th and end August 19^th. These jobs are for 30-35 hours per week between 8:30am-3:30pm.

 Pay ranges from $8.33-$17.26 per hour, depending on the position and the candidate’s experience.  An interest and background in science, and teaching and working with children are preferred.

 A California driver’s license, negative TB test, and fingerprinting are required.

 These are temporary, non-benefited summer positions.
