Camp Burgess & Hayward Employs A Diverse, International Staff

The Camp Burgess & Hayward Summer Camp Directors are currently in the UK attending several summer camp recruitment fairs. A competitively sought after camp for internationals hoping to garner a summer experience abroad working with children, Camp Burgess & Hayward employs close to 200 young-adult role models from across the country and around the world each summer, many of whom have a background in coaching, and their sights set on careers in education.

“Our campers benefit tremendously from being in the company of such a diverse staff,” says Camp Hayward Director, Jessie Williams, who recalled a recent summer when 26 different countries were represented by Camp staff members. “The campers have the opportunity to engage in a number of international activities that are generated by these amazing counselors and program directors: Scottish Ceilidh dancing, Australian aboriginal art, and English cricket have all been enjoyed by campers throughout the years.”

Many of the summer staff members are former campers, who have participated in Camp Burgess & Hayward’s Counselor-in-Training (CIT) and Junior Counselor (JC) programs, who point to Camp, as a place that has been instrumental in their development as strong, cause-driven leaders.
