Applications: To apply, use the quick links to download the Staff Application for the upcoming season. After filling out the application you can email it to the Camp Director and schedule an interview.

Virtual interviews can also be requested for those who it is not practical to drive to the Council Office.

It is appropriate to wear a BSA Field Uniform (Class A) to your interview if you are already registered in the BSA.
