Staff Perks
At Pocono Springs we are dedicated to creating a staff experience that makes this place your summer home. Working at camp takes true passion and dedication and while we know how rewarding this experience is, we also understand that at times, it is a tiring and difficult job This is why every year, we listen to our staff and continue to improve upon our staff experience to ensure your summer as a staff member is fulfilling and memorable.
Staff Lounge
In our staff lounge we provide a place for staff to gather and relax on their time off. There is a quiet movie room, as well as a many areas with lounge furniture, ping pong and foosball tables, and a plethora of board games to enjoy! We also offer snacks and drinks.
The staff lounge has a strong WiFi connection for our staff to contact home, complete online school work or class selection, or stream their favorite TV show. Each staff member is provided with a locker within our staff lounge to store all personal items and electronics away from the cabin area.
The People
Camp is ALL about the relationships you make. Our campers come to camp and (with your help!) develop friendships that last a lifetime – as will you! Camp is a place where like minded people, from all walks of life and all over the world, come together toward a common goal. At camp, staff typically express that they feel the most like themselves than any other place. They grow and develop personally, and doing that alongside your friends creates a special bond that you’ll take with you far beyond your summers at camp.
Post Camp Travel
PSC Staff often create their post camp travel plans together while at camp! That may be coordinating trips together during your last few weeks of summer, or perhaps planning a destination meet-up to bring in the New Year together. The beauty of having a community of people from all over the US and the world, is lots of friends to visit in places you’ve never been before!
Local Attractions
Staff have the opportunity to enjoy all that The Poconos has to offer on their time off. Besides being 75 miles from NYC, and 100 miles from Philadelphia, The Pocono Mountains are beautiful and offer a wide range of experiences for staff to explore. The Appalachian Trail passes through only 12 minutes from camp, The Delaware River offers tubing and rafting opportunities, hiking and camping adventures are abundant and many quaint towns are an easy drive away. We help to arrange transportation when needed and returning staff coordinate group activities on days off.
Caffeine Culture
We know coffee and tea can be the key to starting our day off ready to take on whatever is coming our way – that is why we always have freshly brewed artisan coffee available in the dining hall. We encourage staff to bring their favorite mug to camp to use for their morning “cup of joe” (or cuppa for our UK friends)!
Fitness & Dance Studios
Health and wellness is an important part of being our best selves, at camp and at home. In order to ensure our staff can betheir best, we’ve equipped our Fitness center with our staff in mind. With weight lifting, cardio and plyometric equipment, plus our dance studio for stretching, yoga or aerobic – you can maintain your fitness routine all summer long.
