Summer Staff
The most important aspect of any camp is the quality of its staff. At Camp Herrlich we pride ourselves on our long-standing tradition of hiring caring, competent, and experienced individuals, many of whom return year after year. Our staff is carefully selected from around the world and around the corner based on skills, maturity, ethical values and the ability to provide a positive experience for all the children we service. We are a family at Camp Herrlich and we have the highest expectations for all of our staff members.
We are looking for dedicated, reliable and responsible individuals to join the Camp Herrlich team. Caring for children is a special job that requires patience, creativity, a good sense of humor, and leadership. We go to great lengths to find those persons who will be positive role models, will be true to the Camp Herrlich mission and uphold our philosophies, and will enrich the lives of the campers the most. Campers will remember their "favorite" counselor for the rest of their lives.
When considering a staff position at Camp Herrlich, remember that we exist for the camper, and their needs always come first. Your role as a Camp Herrlich staff member will be challenging and demanding, rewarding and exhilarating at the same time. In short, we like to say "it's the hardest job you'll ever love!"
