How To Use CampStaff

Registration

The first step in the process is registration.
Feel free to take a look at the Staff Registration Form.

Finding Camps

There are two ways to find camps. The first is called browsing. Browsing lets you look through entire categories of camps, such as all camps in New England. You can browse all the information that we have about each camp in our database. To browse camps, start at our top-level browsing page. Non-registered job seekers have access to a smaller set of data for each camp than registered users.

The second and most powerful way to find camps is to use our search form. Search for camps using the criteria of your choosing. Registered candidates can send their personal information directly to camps, using our exclusive e-mailing services. Have a look at this sample CampStaff Search Form.

Camps Can Find You

You can also let the camps come to you! Camps can become members of the CampStaff program and use our Website to find you in our database. Since they can see your qualifications, interests, and skills even before they contact you, you will only hear from camps who are genuinely interested in you!

Contacting Camps

After searching or browsing the camp database, you will find a list of camps that match your criteria. Brief descriptions are available in this list view. Clicking on a camp's name will take you to their info-page.

Info-Pages contain all the information you need to know about a summer camp, including a link to their own website, if they have one. You should look carefully through their camp profile and staffing needs before getting in touch with them.

With our automated resume sender, all you need to do to contact a camp is to click on a single button at the bottom of their info-page. That will send them your complete profile, directly to their email boxes. Because we work closely with our camp clients, we can ensure that you're presenting yourself to these prospective employees in a format that they prefer.

Here is a sample camp info-page:
