Work at Camp

Home » About Us » Work at Camp

Each year, we look for competent and energetic young adults to fill our staff positions for the summer and our year-round weekend events. Previous experience isn’t the key to success at Camp Newman:  you are! Training is provided at the start of the summer season or weekend event, and is ongoing throughout the program. We seek to insure that staff members have as great a time as our campers.
