Have Fun. Make A Difference. Work At Camp.

The camping experience is so valuable to both campers and staff alike. Camp is a place where staff make new friends, develop personal and life skills, confirm or determine career paths, and in some cases, meet their future spouses!  Most importantly, you’ll have the chance to make an important and POSITIVE impact on the lives of your campers. If you’re willing to put forth the effort, energy and enthusiasm, a summer at HCDC is one you won’t soon forget!

At HCDC, we take the job of coaching and caring for children seriously. We teach the skills of making and keeping friends while building their self-confidence, self-esteem, and resilience (our Mission). We are also committed to teaching children the values of our STARFISH Values Program. We’re looking for top quality camp counselors and specialty staff who will take this job as seriously as we do. To attract the best applicants, we pay our staff the highest salaries in the camping industry.

Each year, we select a team of students, graduates, and faculty from schools and colleges from throughout the U.S., Canada & Europe. We look for individuals with a fun personality, empathy, maturity, and most importantly, a sincere desire to work with children.
