Jobs and Employment - Shaffer's High Sierra Summer Camps
Looking over summer camp jobs? How does living and working at a summer camp
in California's Tahoe National Forest sound? Where you're part of a team of
great people working hard to make an impact on campers' lives; where you're
living on the headwaters of the North Yuba River among 200' fir trees as old
as America; where your job might take you to one of the 70+ pristine
mountain lakes nearby, or one of three rivers, a mountain top, the Pacific
Crest Trail, or one of several mountain biking trails?
If it sounds interesting, we've got a number of summer camp jobs for you to review.

Support Staff
Apply today for either a program staff or support staff position by submitting a secure Online Employment Application
The Application Process
Openings for jobs are filled on a rolling basis, which means there is no set deadline. After we receive your Employment Application, we review it. If you appear to be a good match with the Camp, we'll contact you to set up an interview. Interviews generally take 40 to 60 minutes and may be conducted by telephone. For those candidates who stand out, we check references and conduct a background check. After all that, if you're successful we'll contact you with congratulations and forward employment forms to you.
International Staff
We encourage people who live outside the United States to apply. You will need to be able to read and speak English fluently. You must pay for and obtain a J-1 Visa and provide for your own transportation to Camp. There are several organizations that will help you through the paperwork necessary to get your J-1 Visa. If you have not already started working with one of these organizations, we can help successful candidates through the organization with which we work. Because the Visa application process can take a couple months, you should make every effort to get your Employment Application to us by May 1st.
If you have any questions after reviewing the descriptions of the positions in which you are interested, please contact us. We look forward to seeing your application!
