Cabin & Trip Leaders
You are the reason kids come back. You’re at the center of their experience, at the heart of the whole organization. You make magic on a daily basis, you build connections and relationships. You work with and care for young people, you play and laugh, you hold the space and set the tone. You’re a song leader, a bedtime storyteller, a shoulder to cry on, a conflict mediator, a raucous game player.
Cabin and Trip Leaders provide high-quality outdoor educational and recreational experiences, grounded in the core Quaker values of Simplicity, Peace, Integrity, Community, Equality, and Stewardship.

As such we actively seek and encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and identities in areas including, but not limited to: race, ethnicity, nationality, religion, class, gender identity, sexual orientation, and ability.

You fill us up. The kitchen is where everything is made possible, and your wholesome, healthy, made-from-scratch meals sustain our entire camp community. You’ll be a part of the team that makes meals happen for all of camp, either as a Kitchen Manager, a Kitchen Assistant, or a Work Grant volunteer.
An ideal Culinary Team member has food handling experience and is able to work with a diverse and multi-generational group in a fast-paced and physical environment.

Work Grants
As a Work Granter, you play an incredibly valuable role in both the operations and the spirit of BYM Camps. You can serve in one of three roles: Kitchen Assistant, Maintenance Assistant, or Medical Assistant. Work Granters typically stay for one week, but a two-week stay is possible.
Compensation is $500 a week, given in the form of financial aid.
That financial aid can be applied to a specific camper, or it can be donated to the general BYM Campership fund.
Work Granters often are parents or guardians of a camper, but this is not a requirement. Additionally, through our Sliding Scale Tuition System, families have access to other forms of financial aid.
