Job Postings

For summer sessions, Camp Boggy Creek hires nearly 70 employees to work from mid-May to mid-August serving the more than 1,000 children who attend summer camp. Applicants must be at least 19 years old and employment is contingent on references, criminal background check, and completion of medical history/physical forms.
