At Timber Lake we take the job of coaching and caring for children seriously. We're looking for top quality summer camp counselors and specialty staff who will take this job as seriously as we do. We're committed to being the best. To do that, Timber Lake Camp needs to attract the very best summer camp staff. That is why we pay the highest salaries in the camping profession.
Working at Timber Lake Camp offers the opportunity to make life-long friends from across the nation and throughout the world. Last summer, we and our sister camps warmly welcomed camp counselors from Arizona to Vermont. We also employed residents of Canada, Great Britain, Germany, Holland, Australia, New Zealand and South Africa -- giving a true international spirit to our camps.
