Massawepie Camp Staff
Massawepie has a 50-year tradition of outstanding staff! Massawepie staff members work surrounded by the natural splendor of the Adirondacks. They enjoy the lakes, cool mountain air, and awesome night sky. More importantly, a Massawepie staff member has the opportunity to provide the Scouts and leaders who pass through the gates of our camp the best camping experience imaginable. Staff are able to demonstrate responsibility, character, and leadership that is unmatched by most summer jobs, and become an integral part of an amazing team. Former Staff members, please see Alumni information below.
Staff Qualifications
Massawepie staff must be at least 15 years old on or before July 1. They must be registered members of the Boy Scouts of America prior to working at camp. Staff members must meet high standards of ability, interest, and moral conduct, as established by investigation of references. All staff members must report in time for staff training and stay through the entire season.

They must be Boy Scouts who are at least First Class, or active Venturers or Varsity team members. CITs experience assignments in different phases of the camp operation.
