About this Job

Meet our camp bus in the Berkeley area, and ride (not drive) with campers to and from our outdoor camp in the East Bay each day. During the bus ride, you will supervise and entertain children with songs, car games, and other activities to boost camp spirit!

Once you arrive at camp each day, you will take on your role as one of our counselor positions. We have a variety of camp positions available.
