Summer Staff Info
How old do I have to be?
All summer staff are required to be at least 18 years old. If you are not 18 yet, consider volunteering for a week or more this summer to see what it's all about.
How much money will I make this summer?
Summer Staff members will be paid $350/week. You’ll be provided lodging and food during your time at camp as well.
I've heard there's more to being a counselor than just counseling.
What's that about?
Trail Ridge is a small family environment. When you aren't working as a counselor, you might find yourself helping with day to day camp operations including maintenance, hospitality, or in the kitchen. Being willing to work anywhere you are needed at camp is a great way to be a team player and help with the day to day needs of camp. It's not uncommon to see our Camp Director helping in the kitchen, or to see our Maintenance Supervisor helping run an activity. We're a part of the team here! If you're not willing to scrub a toilet, cut some grass, or wash some dishes, this probably isn't the right job for you.
