Working with young children in a camp environment is an ideal starting point for students hoping to pursue people-oriented or education-based professions. The skills that camp builds (leadership, teamwork, problem-solving, community building, and so on) are valued and valuable in the post-grad workplace.

• Animal Care Instructors work with the animals in our on-site farm, introducing children to basic animal care.
• Our farm is typically populated by 5-8 farm animals such as alpacas, sheep, pigs, and goats.
• The animal care at camp focuses on building children's familiarity and comfort-level with farm animals they may not have encountered before.

• All staff members must be college-aged or older, and have summer housing available to them in the greater Los Angeles area.

• Staff members should be prepared to commit to a full ten-week summer of Monday - Friday work weeks. Our 2017 season runs from June 12 - August 18.

Nestled in the rolling hills of Agoura, California, Camp Kinneret provides children aged 4 - 14 with a classic, outdoor day camp experience.

Founded in 1954, we are a loving community rooted in tradition.

Our focus on relationships and providing children with opportunities to learn, grow and discover themselves is at the heart of the Camp Kinneret program. Our attitude and approach to everything we do at camp centers around creating a warm, welcoming environment in which kids can experience belonging and be themselves without fear of judgment. Our child centered philosophy creates a supportive atmosphere where campers develop skills and values to last a lifetime.
