Seasonal Positions 

Join Our Summer Camp Staff

• Become a Child’s Hero. 
  Apply now to become part of the Fairview Lake YMCA Summer Camp staff team. Unlike any other place, camp allows kids to be themselves, to develop friendships, and explore the world around them.  There are numerous ways you can facilitate their growth.

• Become a Camp Counselor.
  What better way is there to spend a summer than with young people in a beautiful outdoor setting while teaching them new skills.  No matter what your occupation is or will be, camp will help you grow too. The experience of working with kids will challenge you, however, the rewards are great. For our staff members, the feeling of making a positive impact on young peoples’ lives far outweighs the hard work involved in making camp happen.  We are looking for enthusiastic, mature, intelligent, creative, and out-going people for our summer staff. You must possess a love of children and the out-of-doors. Our staff will go the extra mile to help our campers develop self-esteem, independence, and responsibility.
