Summerside Camps is looking for fun, enthusiastic, talented, caring people to join our team and provide our campers with the best summer of their lives. There's never a dull moment at Summerside; assist with ceramics camps, go into downtown Philadelphia with our Explor-adelphia Camp, cook up something delicious with our Farm-to-Table culinary camps, or volley a few balls out on the courts with our tennis camps. We have opportunities for creative, fun, and child-centered staff in all our specialty camps as well as our day camp program. Bring your best-self and help us deliver an unforgettable summer for all our campers.
Our Summerside Day Camp runs for 10 weeks, with exciting and fun themed weeks each culminating in a camp-wide event to cap off the fun!
Summerside Specialty Camps are one or two week-experiences and focus on a single area of interest.
