2025 Summer Camp Counselor Job Applications are being accepted until Friday, March 14 at 5pm! Applicants must be age 16 by June 30th. Applicants must be available for the three mandatory training dates and for the entire 6 week camp season. Details are outlined in the introduction letter on the first page of this year’s application packet.
Incomplete applications will not be accepted nor will such candidates be scheduled for an interview. As many of our applicants will be submitting their first job applications, we understand that it will be a learning process. We have included an application checklist as part of the application packet and encourage you to start at least 1-2 weeks before the deadline to allow enough time to obtain letters of recommendation and working papers. Any applicant with questions about any of the forms can call our office at 845-359-6503 or email recreation@orangetown.com
We encourage parents and guardians to have their teen/young adult to make these inquiries on their own as it demonstrates their maturity, independence, and desire to learn. All of which are qualities we value greatly at summer camp.
Completed applications can be turned in to our office located in Veterans Memorial Park between the hours of 9am-5pm, Mondays – Fridays, or emailed to recreation@orangetown.com.
To complete the application, applicants must submit all of the following items from the Application Checklist on page 1 of the application.
- Rockland County Personnel Application for Employment (leave box 1A “Title” blank)
- Two (2) Letters of Recommendation
- Working Papers (If applicant is under age 18 at time of application)

Once you have met the application process requirements, please return the application to the Orangetown Parks and Recreation Department office no later than March 14, 2025. If you are a college student and are away at school, it is your responsibility to return your completed application as soon as possible so we can schedule your interview during your next school break or via Zoom.
