Employment

We understand the immense trust parents place in us when sending their children to camp. At Brooks, we take this responsibility seriously and are committed to creating an environment that prioritizes safety and well-being. Through our “Summer Begins at Brooks” initiative, we aim to provide campers with a transformative experience, offering opportunities for both emotional and physical growth. Our ultimate goal is to offer a fun, exhilarating summer that empowers campers to develop self-confidence, achieve social milestones, and cultivate leadership skills.

Our Summer Programs team is carefully crafted each season, comprising alumni, students, and faculty from regional schools and colleges. We seek individuals who possess not only the right qualifications and professional training but also those with exceptional personality, character, and maturity, as well as a genuine passion for working with children.

As a member of our staff, you’ll thrive in a supportive community environment. We understand the value of your contributions, and our competitive salaries reflect the role, education level, skills, and experience you bring to the team. We are committed to ensuring that your time with us is both professionally fulfilling and personally rewarding.

Join our team at Brooks School Summer Programs and become a part of our mission to create memorable, life-enriching experiences for campers while fostering your own growth and development. Your dedication and enthusiasm are truly appreciated, and we look forward to welcoming you into our camp family.

Our comprehensive staff orientation program spans multiple days before the campers’ arrival, offering an excellent opportunity for you to connect with your colleagues while meticulously planning and preparing for our exciting opening day. During this time, we revisit our summer goals and utilize various resources to equip you for a successful season ahead.

In addition to our orientation program, we hold all-camp staff meetings on alternate Mondays. These gatherings provide a platform for us to collectively assess the camp’s overall performance, share important announcements, and engage in discussions aimed at enhancing our operations.

Furthermore, we understand the importance of individual camper support. That’s why we organize weekly group meetings, led by dedicated group coordinators. These sessions are designed to facilitate discussions, planning, and collaboration to meet the unique needs of each camper under your care.

At Brooks School Summer Programs, our office operates under an open-door policy. We encourage you to reach out to our director, supervisors, and coordinators informally whenever you have questions or concerns. Your feedback and communication are highly valued as we work together to create an exceptional summer experience for our campers and staff alike.

Anti-Racism Statement

Brooks School strives to be an anti-racist school, understanding that this work is continuous and is central to our role as an educational institution. Racism and other forms of systemic oppression are deeply rooted in all institutional and societal structures: We condemn institutional racism and white supremacy in all forms, including those that exist at Brooks. As a community that values each member’s sense of belonging, our goal is to foster an inclusive environment in which everyone can live, work and learn free from prejudice, discrimination and marginalization. While we recognize that racism occurs both intentionally and unintentionally and is often a result of unconscious bias, we also know that its presence hinders our ability to provide the most meaningful educational experience our students will have in their lives. Therefore, at Brooks School we are united in the fight to identify, acknowledge and dismantle systems of oppression and inequality. In order to do this work effectively, we will draw on our foundation: strong community, core values, and commitment to care, support and growth of every member of the community.
