Meaningful Work. Great People. Unforgettable Summer.

Pinecrest Lake Overnight Camp

Currently recruiting for the season from June 26th, 2026 to August 8th, 2026.

We offer a traditional co-ed sleepaway camp for kids ages 7–13. Campers enjoy “challenge by choice” activities, including sports, kayaking, horseback riding, and so much more on Pinecrest Lake. The staff tend to form great connections with campers and with one another! This is the hardest job you’ll ever love—and the one that will shape you the most.

Set a few minute walk from Pinecrest Lake in the Sierra Nevada mountains, our camp offers staff the chance to live and work in an incredible natural setting while making a real impact on kids’ lives. Days are spent outdoors on the lake, in the forest, and on the fields leading activities, building community, and helping campers grow in confidence and independence.
