Headfirst Summer Camps are known for creating fun, intentional, confidence-building experiences for children ages 3–14…

And our amazing team of staff makes it possible.

Our staff help campers reach their personal best by creating what we call Headfirst Moments: the breakthroughs when a child tries something new, takes a safe risk, or discovers what they can do.

We train our teams in our Spot–Create–Celebrate approach, so every camper feels supported, and every moment is designed with care.

If you want meaningful work, real leadership experience, and a community that elevates potential, we’d love to have you on our team.

YOUR BEST INSPIRES THEIR BEST

At Headfirst Summer Camps, we design and deliver carefully-curated programs which entertain, challenge, and inspire.

Our HQ team works tirelessly year-round to set us up for success on-site, but it’s only once our seasonal team steps in to bring to life the exceptional camp experience we’re known for that the magic really happens.

Our squad of counselors, leaders, lifeguards, and aquatics instructors don’t just punch the clock over the summer, they put their time and talents to good use building camp communities where active learning environments promote transformational discovery.
