Hiring Process

How to Apply for Summer Staff

All new staff applicants — including former Camp Ramah campers — must complete the following application process:

Step 1: Submit Your Application

Complete our online Staff Application.

As part of the application process, you will be asked to provide:

• A recent photo
• The names and email addresses of two references
• NEW! A short video introduction that you will submit here. 

Step 2: Choose Your References

Your references should be adults who know you well and can speak to your character, skills, work ethic and ability to work with children.

Good references may include:

• School: A teacher, guidance counsellor or principal
• Professional: A supervisor from a job or volunteer position, or a family for whom you babysit regularly
• Community: A rabbi, cantor, synagogue educator, coach or youth-group advisor

Please do not use family members as references.

Step 3: Complete an Interview

Once we have received your completed application and all required materials, a member of our team will contact you to schedule an interview.

Step 4: Hiring Decisions and Contracts

Following the interview process, successful applicants will receive staff contracts on a rolling basis. This means that contracts will be sent throughout the hiring season as positions are filled, rather than all at once.
