Summer Camp 2027 Position of Interest: Driver
Driver Position at Overnight Camps
Driver positions at summer camps are essential operational roles that keep camp life moving. From bus drivers and CDL pros transporting campers to trips and inter-camp events to shuttle drivers ferrying staff between buildings at sprawling sleepaway camps, drivers handle one of the most important responsibilities at any camp — getting campers and staff safely where they need to be.
As a driver at an overnight camp, you’ll operate buses, vans, or shuttle vehicles for trips, special events, errands, and daily transit. You’ll perform pre-trip inspections, coordinate with trip leaders, and provide a calm, friendly atmosphere for campers in transit. Many co-ed residential camps run dozens of trips per summer — to lakes, climbing crags, amusement parks, and sports tournaments — making drivers central to the program.
The position is typically a full-summer commitment with on-site housing, meals, and laundry included. Bus driver roles typically require a CDL with passenger and school bus endorsements. Shuttle and van drivers may only need a valid driver’s license and a clean MVR. All driving roles at sleepaway camps involve background and motor vehicle record checks. Background checks and drug screenings are standard for CDL roles.
If you love driving and working with kids, this is a fantastic seasonal position. Apply for driver positions at summer camps to spend the season behind the wheel, supporting trip programs, and joining one of the most welcoming professional operations communities in seasonal work.
