We are pleased that you are interested in a position(s) at camp. There are plenty of challenges that come with the territory, but the rewards are both endless and eternal.

Note: We generally recruit staff from October thru early March. We accept applications into the spring semester and seek to place all returning staff by Christmas. Returning staff can find their application listed below.

There are a few steps to follow in seeking a position:

Read and understand A Word to Prospective Staff.
Decide which positions you are most interested in and which may be the best fit by looking over the Available Positions and Job Descriptions. Additionally, please note that priority is given to staff that can work the entire summer (6/1-8/3). This does not mean that we do not review applications for shorter periods; we simply give stronger consideration to those that can join us for the full nine weeks (with the exception of the SALT program which operates with 4-week sessions).
If you are new to camp you can Apply Online or print out the New Staff Application and mail it in upon completion. Seventeen year olds applying to Camp Ridgecrest for Boys should fill out the SALT Application.
Once you have completed this application, you will be directed to forward an email link Help to your 4 references or print out the Reference Form to distribute.

Do not use the Reference Form if you are applying for the SALT Program. SALT applicants should have a Letter of Recommendation sent by mail or FAX to the address below.
