Pine Tree Camp Staff 2025

Description

Pine Tree Camp opened its gates in 1945 as a summer camp for children with physical disabilities. Over the years, it has evolved into a place where children and adults with disabilities are able to participate in all the recreational activities for which Maine is known all year long.

The barrier-free setting, along with an amazing staff, ensure that activities like swimming, fishing, kayaking, hiking, biking, archery, boating and even camping in a tent under the stars are completely accessible to all.

Participating in activities that take people beyond their disability has a tremendous impact. It builds self-esteem and self-confidence. That experience coupled with meeting friends who understand and experiencing the feeling of acceptance is transformational.

Employment Dates: Dates vary by position. June - End of August

Salary: All summer salaries are stipend based on experience. Pine Tree Camp pays bi-weekly. Positions such as our dining hall assistants, facilities assistants, support staff specialists, and day camp specialists are hourly positions and start at minimum wage with opportunities for certifications.

Pine Tree Camp has a unique programming that involves overnight, online, and day programming for adults and children with disabilities and their families. Working at Pine Tree Camp offers the unique position of being able to customize your experience with us.
