Girl Scouts of Western Ohio offers Troop Adventure Camp opportunities at Camp Libbey in Defiance, Ohio and Camp Stonybrook in Waynesville, Ohio.

Why you should work at camp:

Working at camp can be a fun life changing experience but it is also a great place to build a variety of skills that future employers are looking for. Skills you’ll develop at camp this summer include conflict resolution, interpersonal skills, creativity and problem solving, management skills, time management and prioritization, plus valuable experience working directly with children.

What you’ll do:

As staff, you’ll spend six weeks providing programming for Troop Adventure Camp (TAC) at Camp Stonybrook in Waynesville, OH, and a week and a half at Camp Libbey in Defiance, OH. TAC is a progressive camping experience where troops choose their activities and adventures, including making crafts, hiking, swimming, creeking, outdoor living skills, building teamwork, archery, nature activities or working on badge or Girl Scout Journey activities.
