YMCA Camp Fuller prides itself on a long-standing tradition of cultivating competent and experienced people. Many of our staff members are former campers who have a deep appreciation for camp and the camp experience. We hire staff from around the country and around the world to provide diversity and a chance for cultural exchange.
We are currently looking for seasonal staff members who would enjoy the residential camping lifestyle and love to work with children. If you are interested, please contact us at YMCA Camp Fuller!
The YMCA of Greater Providence provides summer day camp at several branches throughout Rhode Island and Massachusetts. If you have an educational or working background with children, and possess the positive attitude to be a good role model for children, consider working at one of our day camps.
Day camp staff members work 6 to 8 hours a day, depending on the branch location and camp schedule. Many camps provide extended care for the campers, so schedules vary for day camp staff.
If you are interested in working with children in your area, please apply for a day camp position at one of our branches.
