Camp Poyntelle has been making children’s summer dreams come true since 1948. As a premier summer camp, we offer a traditional sleepaway experience filled with amazing memories, lasting friendships, and nurturing and compassionate staff. We feel that camp is one of the few places a child can be their own person, without judgment or social pressure. Our intentional community is designed to allow kids to be kids in a low-key, fun, and inclusive environment.

Salary starts at $2350 for the 9 week contract. Room and board provided. Potential for additional work beyond the 9 week contract at a weekly rate with continued room and board. 

This is a residential summer camp where you would be living on site for the summer with room and all meals included.
