Working at RMDC
Rocky Mountain Day Camp doesn’t just hire counselors, we hire role models. Everyone on our staff loves working with children and they are also specialists in the activities they teach. It is the goal of the Rocky Mountain Day Camp team to make a positive impact on every camper, every day, every summer.
“My kids love you and look up to each of you more than you know, and I am thrilled they have such fantastic role models.”
– Julia, Camp Mom

Due to a prior plan, I cannot make one of the days of orientation, is that okay?
We do ask that you do everything in your power to attend our staff orientation. If this is not possible, we do have alternative options to get you the information you will need in order to be successful.
Am I paid for the orientation?
Yes!

We do our best to honor requests for time off. In the perfect camp world we would love for you to spend all 10 weeks of the summer with us. This helps build the bond between camper, staff and family.
