WORK WITH AN INDUSTRY LEADER: Camp Chipinaw was founded in 1926 and then in 2004 Silver Lake was opened to offer a half summer option to our families.

We take great pride in providing an unbelievable summer for hundreds of campers every year. With over 60 different specialty areas at camp, we are looking to hire highly skilled individuals to be teachers and coaches in those areas. Each specialist will work in their area 5 hours a day, teaching campers ranging in ages 8-15. Specialist will make lesson plans, create fun projects, practice schedules, and anything else to keep their area innovative and fresh.

QUALIFICATIONS: We are looking for individuals who are extremely skilled and passionate in one area. To be considered for a specialty area you must have prior experience teaching or coaching.
