Spend your summer making a difference.
Our counselors are the heart of what makes Camp Notre Dame such a special place. We are seeking enthusiastic, dedicated individuals who want to make a lasting difference in the lives of children.
There is no job quite like working at CND! The skills you gain are developed through real-world experience leading, mentoring, and caring for campers every day. Camp Notre Dame will challenge you, inspire you, and reward you in ways few other jobs can. The experience is life-changing not only for campers but for staff as well.
We value leadership, teamwork, communication, responsibility, adaptability, and sound judgment. As a member of our staff, you will strengthen all of these skills while building confidence, lifelong friendships, and memories that will stay with you long after summer ends.
If you’re looking for more than just a summer job, Camp Notre Dame offers an experience that will shape your future and leave a lasting impact on others.
Our staff members are:
- Fun-loving people committed to creating a safe and fun experience for children.
- Enthusiastic team players.
- Able to put the needs of others ahead of their own.
- Those who enjoy being in nature and are comfortable being unplugged from technology.
