Chippewa Ranch Camp

UPDATES: Hiring for Summer 2023!

Hiring:

At Chippewa, we run a trip program in which a trip leader will take between 12 and 20 campers in addition to 3 other counselors on a one to two night camping trip. These trips range from beaches to hiking to canoeing to rock climbing. Campers and counselors will make dinner, set-up and sleep in tents, and build a fire (to make s'mores of course :)). The trip leader will be accountable for helping to plan the trip, guide the campers and counselors once they are on the trip, and help to ensure a fun and safe experience. There will be 2 trip leaders who will work together to plan trips. Trip leaders should have experience camping themselves, and having led trips in the past is great prior experience.  Wilderness First Responder and Lifeguard certifications will be provided if you do not already have the certification. 

Rock climbing instructors at Chippewa belay campers up the climbing wall (with newly resurfaced rock face), latch them onto the zipline and then to get them off the zipline. All instructors are trained to work at both the climbing wall and high ropes course. Our ropes course was put in seven summers ago and is very popular. We have a variety of obstacles and the campers love the challenge!  

We are looking for staff members who are skilled and experienced with both teaching water skiing and driving the ski boat. 

The driver at Chippewa has a wide variety of responsibilities throughout the summer. There will be days of dropping trips off in various locations, driving staff on days/nights off. And most days will include a trip into town to procure supplies needed for the camp program. This person should have experience driving large vehicles, a clean driving record and be 21 years of age or older.

We’re looking for an Office Manager to help out administratively throughout the summer.  A typical day includes answering phone calls and tainge a message or relay to the appropriate person, delivering packages, collecting and processing camper and staff forms, utilizing our camp databases, support the staff, leadership team and directors with ad hoc tasks, and more! 

We are looking to hire an awesome tennis coach to help our campers advance their tennis skills. Group lessons are taught to beginner through advanced players and private lessons are offered to our high school athletes. A skilled tennis player with experience coaching is best suited for this role.

We are seeking an experienced riding instructor to help run our riding program with campers varying in levels from beginner to advanced. We run both an English and Western style program with 12 horses. Responsibilities include teaching riding classes, assisting with horse care and stable management, and ensuring the safety of our campers and horses at the stables.  We are looking for candidates with advanced riding skills and some type of previous instructing experience.  

We are looking to hire an RN who is interested in being a part of our staff team. We intend to hire a health care team of three who will work together to provide health-care to our campers and staff. There is an opportunity for the nursing team to participate in camp activities when they wish. Past nurses have found this to be an extremely rewarding job- it requires a lot of hard-work and flexibility, but with these qualities, it will be an amazing experience.  

We are looking for a cook/chef who is interested in being a part of our staff team. We intend to hire one kitchen manager, one head cook, one baker, one allergy cook, one assistant cook and five kitchen assistants.
