Our staff members will leave having learned interpersonal skills, worked in a community that believes in teamwork, made long-lasting friendships, discovered new talents and contributed to bringing joy and fun into the lives of children with serious illnesses. Our staff gain experience working with both kids and adults, because we work with the campers and with each other.

If you enjoy kids, trying new things, and choosing kindness, this could be the place for you! Don't worry if you don't have experience with children who have illnesses; we have medical staff and volunteers on site to take care of campers' medical needs. We will train staff in the medical information you will need to PLAY WITH KIDS here.

Camp work is demanding. Please be ready to experience long hours, curfews, limited time off, lack of privacy, Florida heat, and thunderstorms. Camp work is also fun! Please be ready to experience laughter, high fives, celebration of mistakes, and life-changing rewards. We get to help kids make friends, practice their courage, and try new things for the very first time!

People who want to help. People who want to grow. People who want to share their skills.

All voices are needed at Camp Boggy Creek, and every new member of our team is an opportunity for our camp to grow. We want to hire a camp staff that is reflective of the campers we serve, so we strongly encourage diverse candidates to apply. Camp Boggy Creek is intentional about growing in our diversity, equity, and inclusion, as we want all children and adults to feel safe, respected, and loved here.
