There is always one very important issue for college students. Money. At CAMP-of-the-WOODS we pride ourselves on being at the upper end of the compensation scale within our industry. Depending on which position you obtain, you can make between $700 and $3,000 for the summer season (and more if you sign on for the pre-season crew). The downloadable application packet contains the salary structure for the various positions. Remember, since we are a full-service resort, all your meals and lodging are also included as part of your compensation. That's why many of our staff are able to reasonably 'take home' almost all of their salary. This is a great place to save your summer earnings and avoid spending what you need for the coming school year.
