● Opportunities

Camp Gencheff provides quality care and recreation services to Islanders with intellectual and physical disabilities. We offer each client the opportunity to develop physically and emotionally through a safe, fun camping experience. 

We’re committed to providing a work environment that fosters respect and positivity.  We are always looking for passionate and caring individuals to join our team. 

We do the majority of our hiring in the Spring of each year, leading into our Summer Day Camp program. We do hire on occasion during the year, but Spring is certainly the busier time for hiring.
