      That can be frustrating. It’s because it is the company’s job to take the job posting down but some do not, thus the job may remain for a while. Or the posting is there all the time because they are hiring that position year round/constantly.

      Hi! There are thousands of camps across the USA, so it comes down to location and type of camp you want to work at. I would recommend using the ACA website: find.acacamps.org/ to find a camp that works best for you. On the site you can find summer camps that match your criteria and then apply via their employee page.

The regions each have a specific number of states allocated to them based on location, population, and a few other factors so they are able to cover/serve as many projects/communities as possible. It also helps with organization for project submissions and team assignments/support. I wish I could make a more detailed video because it's a great idea and there is a bit more to it.

    I did not know how to ski when I moved to a ski area. Worked at the ski area year around for 42 years as a lift mechanic, I loved my job. I would recommend working at a ski area to anyone looking for a great adventure.
