Upon accepting a position, you will receive an offer letter and hiring packet via email. The hiring packet is to be signed and submitted to the camp office within two weeks. You will then start receiving emails from the camp office updating you on information and forms you’ll need to get ready for the summer.

When do I get paid?

Does 6 Points have a curfew for staff?

We expect everyone to perform at the peak of their abilities during the day. A good night’s sleep is the best way to keep yourself healthy and on top of your game. All staff are required to be in their living quarters by curfew each evening.

When do I have time off?

All staff members are entitled to one day off each session. These days are assigned based on the staff member’s role in camp. Counselors/Assistant Coaches are also assigned an hour off each day during one elective period. Staff working multiple sessions will also have a day off between sessions.

Where will I live?

Living accomodations are comfortable and clean! All campus housing is dormitory-style, similar to college. Counselors/Assistant Coaches will have a shared room with their Co-Counselor on camper floors. Head Coaches and other staff members will live on staff-only floors. There is a shared common bathroom on each floor of the dorm buildings.

Will I have to attend a staff orientation?

Absolutely! Our comprehensive staff development program is held prior to the arrival of the campers. You will receive a specific arrival date depending on your role at camp. Staff orientation provides the tools and skills necessary to guarantee a successful summer for all, and does so within the framework of building a Jewish community. Our goals are to give the staff members the chance to get know one another and start building working relationships, as well as to prepare staff members for the challenges of working in a residential camp setting. The program includes a wide variety of activities, such as group-building experiences, training sessions, and program planning time.

Special diets, e.g., vegetarian, gluten-free, food allergies, etc. can be accommodated. We are a nut-free camp. Please call our office at 561-208-1650 or contact Director Jackie Gordon to discuss any dietary concerns.

How will I do my laundry at camp?

Camp provides laundry service once a session and in between sessions. If you prefer to do your own laundry, there are laundry facilities in each dorm for your use.

May I bring my vehicle to camp?

Yes, you may bring your car to camp. There is a designated staff parking area.

What can I expect from my experience on staff at 6 Points Sports Academy?
