Staff
The staff is what makes a Scout summer camp special. It’s the secret sauce that can turn an ordinary campfire into a hilarious event that you tell your friends and parents about later. The staff are the ones that sing that favorite song that you can’t get out of your head for weeks after you return home. They are also the ones that take time to get to know your name and are there to help you learn a new skill or encourage you to finish the badge.
At Camp Barstow we are currently recruiting our 2026 staff. We have openings in some areas and would love to talk to you about your interest in joining our team. Our first year staff members are typically Counselors in Training (CIT) and we start with Scouts as young as 14 willing to work hard and help make things #BetterAtBarstow. Staff commitment begins with the opening day of staff week on Sunday June 1 and finishes on Saturday July 5. Some staff will be asked to continue on with our ROTC Camp and 4-H Camp. Here are some highlights for you to consider.
- most youth staff sleep in Adirondacks with electricity
- adult staff typically sleep in air conditioned cabins
- we are recruiting youth and adult female staff
- room and board covered with a weekly salary ($200-$800/week d.o.e.)
- staff shirts and swag included at no charge
- we begin CITs at age 14 with recommendations from their Scoutmaster
- we have several openings in every program area and are always looking to talk to new spirited staff prospects
- we currently have an openings for senior staff positions – Assistant Program Director, Outdoor Skills Director, Ecology Director, Dining Hall, and Quartermaster
During many, but not all, summer camp seasons at Camp Barstow, a photograph has been made of all camp staff members. Below are scans of all of the staff group photos currently available. We are missing many. If you have a full staff group photo from a year that we are missing, please e-mail it to us or notify us using the comment form at the bottom of the page, and we will reach out to you to arrange to get a copy. Likewise, if you can identify names of individuals not noted, please let us know. Special Thanks to Tripp Clark for all of his work to help keep this record current!
