Help create a joyful, memorable summer working with children in a beautiful day camp setting! Camp Grossman is seeking Assistants for many Activity Specialists in areas such as arts & crafts, archery, boating, ceramics, climbing wall, cooking, gymnastics, jewelry, mountain biking, orienteering, ropes course, and sewing. While our Specialists are highly skilled in the activity they run and are required to have excellent group management skills, Assistants need not be able to teach on their own, or have experience in running a group lesson; they need only have interest in the activity area, and a willingness to learn and help out as needed.

JCC Greater Boston is deeply committed to valuing and celebrating the uniqueness of each constituent. We welcome staff and participants from diverse backgrounds. While being proudly Jewish, we strive in every way to provide an open and welcoming setting for all, irrespective of personal practices, beliefs, or background. We are guided by JCC Greater Boston's core values – Belonging, Joyfulness, Collaboration, and Transformation, which resonate with many who do not identify as Jewish. 

The starting salary for these positions is $4,470 (with some highly specialized activities paying more) for the full regular season, including Orientation. The salary offered will ultimately be determined by the hours employees will work, the scope of the position, the candidate’s relevant experience, and internal equity.

Orientation takes place the week of June 17th and ends with Visiting Day (a pre-camp visit for all campers and families to meet staff) on Sunday, June 23. The regular camp season begins June 24 and ends August 16 (with the option to work the following “9th Week” for additional pay). The camp day runs from 8:15 AM - 4:15 PM, Monday through Friday, with 3 or 4 staff meetings on various Monday afternoons or evenings. Activity specialists also work 2 additional evenings - either running their activity for campers or assisting with a family night or cookout, depending on their position in camp. While we prefer staff who can start Orientation Week and work the entire regular season, we are happy to consider quality candidates who may have conflicting obligations.
