Camp Overview
Camp Timberland is a camp for boys located in Wisconsin's North Woods, just north of Minocqua, WI. In 2020 we celebrated our 60th Summer of camping fun and friendship! Each year 160 boys from over 30 cities across the US join us for 4 or 8 weeks of wholesome, outdoor fun in a genuinely non-competitive environment.
Each year 160 boys from over 30 cities across the US join us for 4 or 8 weeks of wholesome, outdoor fun in a genuinely non-competitive environment. Our staff is crucial to a positive and successful summer for our campers.
Our staff enjoys solid support and invaluable training to enable them to be their best for our campers. Because 80% of our team returns year-to-year, staff openings change every season.
Hmm... What's your role?
Staff Time Off
Our time-off system is very liberal, and intended to help you regain your energy to be your best during your time-on. During the camping season you will get 6 days off (8:00 am - 8:00 am the following morning.) You'll also get 2 nights off each week (6:00 pm - 8:00 am the following morning.) You will have a great deal of freedom in choosing your days and nights off, though it must be coordinated with your co-counselors and activity staff. Our part of Northern Wisconsin is spectacular, and you'll have ample opportunity to explore it. Minocqua is 5 miles away and has a first-run movie theater, great restaurants, and a myriad of other attractions.
Staff Qualities
If you are interested in joining our staff, we want you to learn about us just as we want to learn about you. Although each summer we enjoy a return of 70 - 80% of our staff from the prior summer, we work very hard at reaching out to people who have a genuine interest in working with children and having a positive impact on their lives.
Positions at our camp are not without their challenges, but the rewards, both tangible and intangible, are abundant. Our staff includes: approximately 45 - 50 cabin counselors who also teach activities; 10 wilderness trip leaders; 5 - 10 activity specialists; 2 registered nurses; 2 maintenance staff; 2 office staff; and 8 kitchen staff. We are a boys' camp, so most, though not all, of our positions require male counselors.
