Why Work at Sequoia Lake?
Live, Play and Work in the great Sierra Nevada Mountains
Living, playing, and working at camp is a unique benefit of applying for a job because of the sense of community, connection and leisure available, that’s hard to find in another work environment. Your workplace becomes your home, where you build close friendships, enjoy outdoor recreation, and contribute to something meaningful, all at once.
Develop or enhance exisiting skills
The weeks spent working at our camp provide an opportunity to grow and cultivate skills you may not have previously established. It’s a chance to step out of your comfort zone, take initiative, and inspire others to do the same. Whether your goal is to become a stronger leader or to enhance your communication skills, camp offers an environment that supports personal and professional development.
Make friends from all around the world
We receive applicants through international camping organizations from all over the world. Many of our staff have continued to stay in touch with each other after working and living around each other. Some have even visited each other’s home countries because of the role summer camp played in the development of their friendships. It’s an amazing way to meet people and create unique memories that last a lifetime.
Impact a camper's life
You have the opportunity to create a positive, supportive environment where campers feel seen, valued, and encouraged to grow. As a staff member, you will foster confidence, teach resilience, and encourage a sense of belonging. Your presence helps campers build friendships, develop personal skills, and discover passions, leaving them with memories and lessons that last beyond the summer. After a century of camping services, our campers come back time and time again with memories of staff members that made their experience feel unique. This is an opportunity to impact the lives of people of all ages and from all over.
Testimonials
“Gotta be a little different and you gotta want to have a lotta fun. You do a lot and the day never ends. However, you’re always a little sad that each day ends.”
“Working at YMCA Camp Sequoia Lake was something I'd dreamed of since I was a kid, and it was everything I'd hoped it would be and more. I was part of the Adventure Team, facilitating our high ropes, rock wall and giant’s ladder courses. Throughout the summer I made numerous friends from all around the world. I gained connections to new places and knew after a few weeks that I'd want to return next year. Camp Sequoia Lake is the ultimate place to have fun while working and creating friendships that will last a lifetime.”
I was excited coming from another camp to this one. The truth is that I had a great time, and the staff and managers were the best. They treat you well and listen to the concerns you have and do their best to give you what you need to be comfortable at the lake. It is a large camp so there is a lot to do in your free time. Living in the family camp is pleasant and I am going to return again in 2023!”
