Opportunities

The staff of St. Joseph’s Youth Camp is essential in creating our magical and transformative camp experiences.

St. Joseph’s Youth Camp is a beautiful, historical place where our campers, counselors, and staff can be themselves and make lifelong memories. Many staff members were campers at SJYC and now, stay connected to camp for the rest of their lives.

SJYC staff members have more than just “a job and a paycheck” at the end of the summer. Working with us is a tremendously rewarding and life-changing experience! You will make a positive impact on children and excel in teaching skills while developing leadership, strengthening teamwork and collaboration abilities, and learning other workplace skills to help you beyond life at camp.

Many staff members look back on their time at SJYC as the best or the most important, transformational job they have ever had.

If you have energy and enthusiasm and are a positive, “can-do!” person, please submit an application! While we have a large group of returning staff each summer, we’re always looking to hire new staff members.

Our Overnight Camp staff work the entire roughly 6 week long camp season.

Open Day Camp Positions for Summer 2025:

Our Hiring Process

Applications for summer staff positions at SJYC are accepted on a rolling basis until December 1, 2024. If you're passionate about making a difference in the lives of our campers and CITs, we encourage you to apply (application below)! If we think you may be a great fit after reviewing your resume, we will contact you to schedule an interview.

Our interview process will take place virtually on Saturday, December 14th.

We aim to make hiring decisions promptly following the interviews, and selected candidates will be notified shortly after that. Successful candidates will be sent electronic paperwork to complete, and employment will be contingent upon the successful completion of a federal background check.

Additionally, we recommend that candidates ensure reliable internet access for the virtual interview and a quiet, distraction-free environment. We look forward to learning more about you and potentially welcoming you to the SJYC team! If you have any questions, please get in touch with us at director@sjycaz.com.
