Work at Summer Camp Spend your summer in the beautiful mountains of New Mexico. Ride horses, canoe, go rock climbing, or dye your socks and get paid doing it. Obtain real world professional skills and have the summer of your life teaching young girls to become G.I.R.L.s (Go-getters, Innovators, Risk-takers, Leaders). How to choose which camp is right for you Each of our two camps is unique and offers a different selection of programs, sites and schedules. Programs are designed around outdoor skills, horse program, leadership development, high adventure, art, science, and the five outcomes of Girl Scouts (strong sense of self, positive values, challenge seeking, healthy relationships, and community problem solving). Groups range in size from 6-16 girls with 1-2 counselors working with each group. Counselors will have an opportunity to choose which theme and age group they would like to work with. Programs run Sunday to Friday with special weekend programs for Troops and Families. All positions include room and board. Look at each camp/job description and what skills or experiences you may already have or want to learn and also keep in mind the start and end dates and your summer availability.
