For summer sessions, Camp Boggy Creek hires nearly 70 employees to work from mid-May to mid-August serving the more than 1,000 children who attend summer camp. Applicants must be at least 19 years old, and employment is contingent on references, criminal background check, and completion of medical history/physical forms. We try to have summer staff hired by mid-April, so interested applicants are encouraged to apply early.

Camp work is demanding. Please be ready to experience long hours, curfews, limited time off, lack of privacy, Florida heat, thunderstorms and pets to be left at home. We play hard with children, and the rewards are life-changing. Our staff leaves having learned interpersonal skills, worked in a community that believes in teamwork, made long-lasting friendships, discovered new talents, and contributed to bringing joy and fun back into the lives of children with serious illnesses.
The summer paid positions include:
