For them, it’s their one week at Camp! When you accept a position as a summer staffer, you commit to the full summer which runs from June 13 to September 12, 2022. The training, programming development, and care dedicated to each staffer is needed in turn to provide an excellent experience for each of our 12 weeks of guests. Guests love getting to know staffers and staffers have the opportunity to make valuable alumni connections. Mealtimes offer an incredible opportunity for staffers to socialize with guests. Meals are served buffet style and there are always plenty of different options for all dietary needs. The kitchen staff creates 3 gourmet meals a day. Gender-inclusive housing is available per staffers’ preference.Ĭamp has amazing food. Some cabins have their own bathrooms and others have shared bathrooms nearby. Most cabins have been recently renovated. The close quarters are made up for by gorgeous views of the lake. Summer staffers live in cabins shared with an average of 2-3 roommates.

Each staffer gets one and a half days off per week.Ĭompensation for the 12-week season, in addition to room and board, is roughly $8,100 after taxes, and is composed of a weekly salary plus tips from guests. Each week, all staff participate in Saturday morning cabin cleaning (approximately 5 hours of making beds, scrubbing bathtubs, vacuuming etc.), one all-staff meeting, and an introductory meeting for campers (each counselor group performs a skit for our guests). Other duties include life guarding, meal shifts, working in the camp store, social hours for adults, story hours for kids, rowing, leading morning exercise, leading a talk/discussion on a topic of your interest, cleaning the lodge, and even more. If you are an individual instructor (such as volleyball, crafts or hiking) 15-20 of your hours will be related to your program. If you are a kids' counselor, 20-25 of your hours will be devoted to your kids' group. Each staffer's schedule is the same from week to week. Staffers are typically scheduled for a 48-hour workweek. SSC staffers are responsible for the kids during structured kids' group hours, but the campers stay in cabins with their families at night. Stanford Sierra Camp is a family camp, which means that, unlike many summer camps, kids' counselors do not live in cabins with their campers. In fact, if you have a great idea for a new program, we'd love to hear about it!
The camp program includes activities such as kids' groups (divided by age ranging from 3 to 18 years old), hiking, arts and crafts, sailing, canoeing, kayaking, waterskiing, wakeboarding, tennis, volleyball, archery, naturalist walks and talks, improv, theater, faculty speakers, and so much more. Our summer programming is staffed primarily by 60 energetic and enthusiastic current Stanford students. During the summer, Stanford alumni and their families come up to Camp for one of 12 week-long sessions. Stanford Sierra Camp is a family camp located on Fallen Leaf Lake near Desolation Wilderness in the Lake Tahoe Basin.
