Ice Skating Experience/Instruction Counselor

Montecito Sequoia Lodge & Summer Family Camp

Year-Round, Seasonal Winter, and Summer Seasonal Jobs

We offer hospitality positions year-round, but also offer many seasonal jobs during our summer high-season, including approximately 30 camp counselor positions, for our renowned Summer Family Camp (We will begin accepting applications for summer positions on Jan. 1st). We also offer winter seasonal jobs (especially for snow sports & activities counselors).

Qualities We Look For

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.

Staff Room & Board

Due to our remote location (about an 1 1/2 hr. drive time to Fresno, CA), most of our staff live on-site at Montecito. If you live onsite you will receive subsidized room and board (including satellite internet, satellite telephone access & laundry service during the summer season; it is important to note that there is no cell service in our remote location, but we offer free WiFi). The staff dines along with our guests, and shares the same buffet meals. Staff that live off-site have meal privileges during their shifts.

Employee Benefits

Montecito staff receive discounts for purchases made onsite and at our other locations. The entire Montecito staff shares gratuities from our guests equally, which can be substantial during our summer family camp season. For those employees who work for us year-round, we offer many benefits not mentioned above, including subsidized medical & dental insurance, and a 401K retirement plan.
