ABOUT
Recruiting the next
generation of camp leaders
We founded CampHire in 2019 to help camps modernize recruitment and build sustainable systems for hiring.
The future of camp depends on inspirational leaders — those who grasp the business side of camp and embody the summer spirit. Our mission is to build that pipeline.

What makes CampHire different
Where fortune 500 recruiting strategies meet camp magic
After a decade in talent acquisition at world-renowned companies, we asked ourselves: what if we took best-in-class recruitment strategies from the corporate world and applied them to camp?
As longtime camp people, we were driven to use our perspective and expertise to help camps attract exceptional talent. We bring technology and efficiency to your hiring process, but we never forget that camp is about community and human connection. Our goal is to find leaders who share your values and help you build something with a lasting, shared purpose.
