What is a work camp?

Work camps are organized living and working arrangements where groups of people, often seasonal or temporary workers, reside on-site to perform specific jobs. These camps are commonly used in industries like agriculture, construction, mining, or disaster relief, where the job location is remote or requires a concentrated workforce. Accommodations and amenities can vary, but essential facilities like housing, dining, and recreational spaces are typically provided. Work camps help employers meet labor demands while offering workers a place to stay near the job site.

What are the typical responsibilities and daily routines for employees working at a work camp?

Employees at work camps are often responsible for maintaining the daily operations of the facility, which can include preparing and serving meals, housekeeping, janitorial work, and general maintenance tasks. They may also assist with inventory management, ensure compliance with safety protocols, and support recreational or administrative activities for camp residents. The work environment is usually structured with shift-based schedules, and teamwork is essential, as employees often collaborate closely to meet the needs of residents and keep the camp running smoothly.

What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a work camp manager, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Work Camp Manager, you generally need experience in facilities management, logistics, and basic health and safety compliance, often supported by a background in hospitality or project management. Familiarity with camp management software, inventory tracking systems, and knowledge of regulatory standards are typically required. Strong leadership, problem-solving, and communication skills help ensure smooth operations and high morale among staff and residents. These skills are crucial for maintaining a safe, efficient, and comfortable living environment in remote or demanding work camp settings.

Actual compensation offers within this range will depend on experience and other relevant business or organizational factors.

At Steve & Kate's, we put radical trust in kids so that they learn to trust themselves. Campers choose minute-to-minute how to spend their time because making decisions today helps to build the self-confidence they’ll need to wrangle unknowns tomorrow. We value empowering our staff to be their whole authentic selves because everyone in our community needs to feel included!  Sound like something you can get behind? If so, we're looking for team members who are motivated babysitters, teachers, coaches, students, athletes, artists, and anyone ready to play hard and be goofy. As a Steve & Kate’s staff member, you’ll sharpen your inherent leadership skills, learn some new ones, and collaborate with interesting people, all while immersing yourself in creativity and play.

  • Are you calm under pressure and able to calm those around you?
  • Are you comfortable leading groups of kids on your own while still collaborating with a team?
  • Do you have the stamina to keep up (literally) with 4-12 year old’s bursting with energy and creative potential? And, can you bench press a kindergartener (just kidding -- can you lift up to 40 pounds)?
  • Are you passionate about sharing your knowledge & learning something new (even if a third grade is doing the teaching)?

Job Requirements

  • At least 16 years of age 
  • Minimum of 2 months experience working with camp–age children, with 1 year preferred, in either a professional, personal or volunteer setting. 
  • First Aid & CPR certified prior to Day 1 of Camp (some locations may require additional certifications)
