Camp CIT & Jobs
CREA Camp is more than just a summer camp; it is a place where young naturalists grow into leaders, and outdoor enthusiasts share their love of nature with the next generation. Whether you are looking to build leadership skills through our Counselor-in-Training (CIT) program, or hoping to join our staff as a Counselor, CREA Camp offers opportunities to grow, connect, and make an impact.
At CREA Camp, our mission is to provide rich, nature-based experiences that cultivate delight, curiosity, respect for diversity, and a strong sense of collaboration and environmental stewardship in youth. We believe nature is a place of magic, mystery, and adventure, and we invite you to help us share that with campers.
