JAccounting. And yes, one field at a time. 😂

Description

About the Position

Spend your summer gaining hands-on accounting experience while living and working in a unique summer camp environment.

Our Accounting Internship gives college students the opportunity to apply classroom knowledge to the day-to-day financial operations of a residential summer camp. You'll work alongside camp leadership and administrative staff while gaining practical experience with accounting processes in a fast-paced seasonal organization.

Accounting Interns may assist with:

• Processing invoices and recording cash receipts
• Preparing payments and manual checks
• Assisting with journal entries and general accounting records
• Supporting payroll and staff advance processes
• Managing petty cash and camper spending accounts
• Maintaining organized financial records and documentation
• Using spreadsheets and accounting software to support daily operations
• Providing general administrative and clerical support as needed

Qualifications

• At least 18 years old by the start of employment
• Currently pursuing a degree in Accounting, Finance, or a related field
• At least two semesters of accounting coursework preferred
• Comfortable using Microsoft Excel and other basic office software
• Organized, dependable, detail-oriented, and able to manage multiple responsibilities
• Strong communication and problem-solving skills
• Previous professional accounting experience is not required

About Working at Camp

This isn't a traditional office internship. You'll spend the summer living and working within a residential camp community while gaining practical experience that complements what you're learning in the classroom.

You'll develop professional skills, see how accounting supports the daily operations of a complex organization, work alongside experienced staff, and become part of a close-knit summer community.

Staff are required to live onsite for the duration of the summer. Accounting Interns primarily work in camp administrative and business operations rather than serving as cabin counselors.

Positions generally run from approximately the second week of June through the first week of August, with exact dates varying by camp and position.

Compensation is approximately $2,000–$2,700 for the summer, depending on position and experience. Housing, meals, a travel stipend, comprehensive staff training, and scheduled days off are also included.
