Staff Positions

Staffing Season
Our staffing season begins in late fall as we select the most qualified and child-oriented individuals. To become part of the Banner team, you must have experience working with children and skill knowledge in a variety of camp activities. Staff members must participate actively in all staff development, orientation, and training sessions.

The Application
The first step in applying for a job at Banner is to fill out our online application. Our application inquires about personal background and experience working with children and being in a camp setting. All applicants must also submit multiple personal and work related references. Once Banner reviews your application, we may select you to come in for a thorough interview with a member of the Leadership Team. Every person interested in a position at camp must have a face-to-face interview and multiple reference checks.

Hiring & Training
Banner Day Camp only hires the most qualified individuals to work at camp. We provide our staff the finest training available so they can excel in our camp setting. All staff members undergo an intense, week-long orientation which includes training in safety, child development and camp procedures. Throughout the summer, staff development continues during evening staff meetings and through daily mentoring by the Leadership Team. There are a variety of positions at camp for applicants with different interests and skill levels.

Internships
If you are like many college students, you may be focused on finding internships and summer employment within your future field. People may steer you away from working at camp by suggesting you need to find a more “serious” summer job. In reality, working at camp will prepare you in many ways for the “real world”; you just need to be able to express what you learned and how the experience prepared you to be successful in your next job.
