Camp Is A Real Job
Working at Camp Nicolet is a fun & challenging experience, and it’s an outstanding training grounds for future professionals. Staff members are trained in communication skills, customer service best-practices, teamwork, risk management, and sound decision-making; all critical fundamentals of professional work. Staff are trusted with a great deal of responsibility – which is practiced daily through hands-on job experience.
Parents provide their children with a summer experience at Camp Nicolet. They expect their daughter to be well-cared for by intelligent, responsible, mature, enthusiastic, engaging adults. Each of us on staff works hard – and works together – to put the needs of the campers ahead of our own in everything we do throughout the summer. This happens in a broad range of challenging environments; from the waterfront to the equestrian arena to wilderness environments.
