About the role
Qualities we look for in potential employees
Our employees become part of the Montecito Family, and often become friends with not only our staff, but with our guests. Many of our guests return year-after-year, and they and their children become very close to our staff. Therefore it is very important that staff members represent Montecito well, set a good example for our young guests, and behave professionally at all times. Many of our seasonal staff return year-after-year as well, because they enjoy the working environment and the friendships they share at Montecito.
We look for candidates who are:
- Outdoorsy, Friendly & Fun
- Enthusiastic & Flexible
- Team players
- Hard workers
- Responsible & Professional
- Honest & Authentic
- Focused on Customer Service
- Leading a healthy, drug-free lifestyle
- Clean, neat and wholesome appearance (we are a family camp).
- Preferably experienced working with families and children
- Preferred Certifications for counselor positions (depending on position): Red Cross First Aid/CPR Certified at a minimum, or Red Cross Lifeguard Certification, or WFR (Wilderness First Responder); as of 2018, a WFR certification with CPR is required by the National Park Service for any of our lead outdoor guides and “Leave No Trace” certified for all guides.
We are always looking for great managers and staff. We encourage you to explore our website to learn more about Montecito and why it is a great place to work. If you think working at Montecito might be a good fit for you, please apply today!
