  • Girl Scouts of Alaska
  • Anchorage, AK

Job Description

Each summer, the Girl Scouts of Alaska camp team from across the U.S. and the world works together toward one common mission — to help every girl who attends camp develop courage, confidence, and character to make the world a better place.

Most summer staff will serve as counselors. You'll work with a staff partner to plan and deliver outdoor activities to a group of 8-15 girls and supervise all aspects of your campers' day. Depending on the camp, common activities include canoeing, row boating, hiking, environmental education, arts and crafts, team building, community service, and STEM programming. We are hiring at these three camps:

Camp Togowoods

  • Camp Togowoods is located along the shores of Three Mile Lake in Wasilla, AK. Sleepaway camp positions include Cooks, Counselors, Waterfront/Boating, and Healthcare.

Camp Singing Hills

  • Camp Singing Hills is located along on Edmonds Lake outside Chugiak, AK. Day camp positions include Counselors.

Community Day Camp

  • Community Day Camp is a traveling day camp where counselors travel between villages by small planes or ferries in Southeast and Southwest Alaska.

Depending on camp and position, compensation starts at $440/week plus food and lodging, or $17.60/hour. Camp Togowoods and Community Day Camp staff also receive a $675 travel stipend which is evenly split between each paycheck. Like with regular pay, taxes, social security and Medicare are taken from travel stipends.

Applicants must commit to the full dates of employment (unless discussed before hiring), possess excellent character, exert enthusiasm, patience, and understanding, work from a place of positivity, and be solution-oriented. To apply, fill out the online application, including a few short answer questions and 3 professional reference contacts. Interviews will be conducted by phone.

You can find information about all our camp programs at our website.

Working at any of our camps is an extraordinary life-changing adventure for you and the campers you work with. Our camps build girls of courage, confidence, and character who make the world a better place. To accomplish this, we demand excellence from our staff, including that they put the needs of others ahead of their wants, communicate directly and honestly (even when it is hard and uncomfortable), engage fully with campers and the camp experience, work tirelessly and enthusiastically until the job is done and consistently follow through on commitments to campers, co-workers, and directors.

If you're passionate about changing the world and positively impacting a child's life, aren't afraid of hard work, and want a fun, exciting, and energizing job, we look forward to receiving your application.
