To join our summer staff, you’ll need to:

• Be 18 or older and a high school graduate

• Enjoy working with kids and being outside

• Be ready to unplug (devices are for free time only)

• Work well with others—camp is all about teamwork

• Submit your health forms and complete training before camp begins

Camp Oh-Neh-Tah will run tentatively July 31 – August 8, 2026,

with staff training from July 25 – 30.

Our team is made up of returning alumni, college students, teachers, creatives, and first-time counselors. Everyone’s here to make camp unforgettable. While we’re a girls’ camp, some support and program staff roles are filled by men who live in separate housing.

Swimming, boating, sports, dance, drama, nature hikes, music, and more. If you have a talent or interest, you’ll likely get to share it.

We made a blog with our top 10 activities, check it out here; https://www.campohnehtah.com/post/camp-oh-neh-tah-s-top-10-activities-that-campers-love

You’ll live in a shared cabin with two other staff and 9–10 campers. Cabins are rustic but have electricity, and bathroom facilities are close by.

Meals are served family-style in the Dining Hall, with options for vegetarians, vegans, and food allergies. You can eat inside or out at the picnic tables. Read the interview with our chefs from last year here: https://www.campohnehtah.com/post/meet-eric-and-rob-our-culinary-maestros
