Work at Camp

Shwayder Camp teaches us to respect where we came from, grow where we are, and become who we want to be.
— Spencer, Staff

Staff at Shwayder help our campers build self confidence, learn independence, and increase their self esteem. Nothing is more important than having a team of individuals who believe in the Shwayder Magic and who can share that passion with future generations.
