Do you love the outdoors? Do you enjoy teaching children? Do you have a passion for Jewish studies? This is a wonderful opportunity for any Jewish educator who wants to share their love and pride of being Jewish with children in an informal, camp setting. If you live in the Greater Boston area or have a place to stay for the season, we would like to hear from you!
Orientation takes place the week of June 17th and ends with Visiting Day (a pre-camp visit for all campers and families to meet staff) on Sunday, June 23. The regular camp season begins June 24 and ends August 16 (with the option to work the following “9th Week” for additional pay). The camp day runs from 8:15 AM - 4:15 PM, Monday through Friday, with 3 or 4 staff meetings on various Monday afternoons or evenings. Activity specialists also work 2 additional evenings - either running their activity for campers or assisting with a family night or cookout, depending on their position in camp. While we prefer staff who can start Orientation Week and work the entire regular season, we are happy to consider quality candidates who may have conflicting obligations.
About the Camp
Camp Grossman is located on 75 acres of the Hale Reservation in Dover. Camp Grossman welcomes over 1600 campers and over 300 staff each summer.

Our alumni can tell you that working at Camp Grossman is an amazingly enjoyable way to spend your summer while developing great skills such as communication, leadership, time management, conflict resolution, and teamwork; valued skills that will serve you well in future jobs.
