Camp Tanuga is hiring for summer 2024!
Our staff is the backbone of the Tanuga program. We are looking for qualified, nurturing individuals to help create a positive camping experience. We dedicate the entire off-season to recruiting staff from all over the world.
Camp Tanuga has a unique family atmosphere, where our entire staff knows each individual camper, and our campers know each individual staff member. This environment creates confidence in our campers and promotes self-reliance.
Our staff receives intensive training to instill the Tanuga philosophy, develop team building skills, and broaden camping know-how. This training also includes activity-specific education, cabin counseling, and age-specific scenarios.
At the heart of Camp Tanuga’s season is the 45-day residential camp experience. Prior to, and immediately following the residential portion of the season, hired staff will also work with our special needs, at risk, and elementary school groups that attend camp. In addition, a typical summer can include; Corporate Groups, Weddings, Bar/Bat Mitzvah Parties, and Family Camp.
More About Camp Tanuga
Camp Tanuga is deeply committed to the philosophy of a traditional camping experience. Values, as depicted by our respect for nature, the environment, and the idea of accepting others for who they are, stand out in our mission. Our objective for each camper is to build self-confidence, develop a cohesive family feeling and create the assurance of belonging.
The sense of accomplishment and confidence that develop each summer carry over throughout the year into the camper’s classrooms, future relationships, and during periods of difficult transitions into adulthood.
Through the Tanuga experience and with the assistance of our dedicated staff, campers are able to attain these attributes. Tanuga encourages campers and staff alike to get to know one another and accept each individual for who they are. Strong friendships and respect for one another evolve, and personal accomplishments are reached. That’s when the “Tanuga Magic'' truly happens. We’ve been told that the magic lasts a lifetime.
