Job description
Imagine a summer job at a beautiful lake site in the San Francisco East Bay, having fun in the great outdoors, making new friends, all while helping children grow and have the time of their life. You'll learn valuable leadership and teamwork skills that employers and graduate schools value. Many staff tell us years later that working at Roughing It was the most exciting and rewarding summer job they never expected.

Camp counselors and assistant camp counselors spend the day with the same group of campers and are responsible for planning/leading group activities as well as supervising campers.

The camp day is split between group time and time spent at program areas where you will assist campers, under the instruction of our program staff.
Transportation from San Francisco, Berkeley, Oakland, Pleasant Hill, San Ramon
