Each Activity Area at Camp Lincoln & Camp Lake Hubert requires an instructor to lead that program. Activity leaders are needed in many different activity areas as listed below. Activity leader responsibilities include the overall operation of that area, programming, developing and implementing lesson plans, camper instruction, setting and enforcing safety rules, record keeping, evaluation of campers, overseeing staff assigned to assist in the area, camper award systems, equipment and supply care, maintenance, knowledge of emergency procedures, and staff training. Usually, these people have a keen skill and interest in their activity area and are passionate about sharing that with others. All of our activity leaders also live in a cabin with children, and have cabin responsibilities.

We are looking for activity leaders in numerous areas including: Archery (Range and Field), Arts and Crafts, Baseball, Basketball, Candle-making, Canoeing, Climbing (Wall) Dance, Drama, Ecology, Fishing, Fitness, Golf, Guitar, Gymnastics, High Ropes, Horseback Riding, Kayaking, Knitting, Lacrosse, Lifeguards, Low Ropes, Martial Arts, Mountain Biking, Outdoor Camping, Painting, Pottery, Photographers, Radio/Podcasting, Riflery, Ropes, Rowing, Sailing, Softball, Stand-up Paddleboarding, Tennis, Theater, Trapshooting, Wakeboarding, Waterskiing, and Windsurfing.

Each summer, we ask our potential summer staff, “Why do you want to work at camp?” The answers are generally focused on “impacting the lives of kids” and “I want to do something different this summer.” However, no one seems to say, “Because I need to make a lot of money for school/books/housing etc.” It’s true, camp doesn’t pay as much as working at the mall or the local fast food place, but Camp isn’t about what you put in your bank account at the end of the summer. It’s all about what you put into your mind and your soul. Working at camp is about personal growth and development, quality relationships, overall camp community, excellence in a job well done, and, most of all, the most fun you can have in a 10-week time frame.

If you love being with children, being a mentor, acting goofy most of the time but knowing when to be serious, you enjoy the outdoors, if you’re OK with little to no privacy, and making the most amazing friendships, then camp is for you!

The relationships that you make at camp are amazing. Not only will you meet campers from all over the world, but you’ll meet staff who have the same drive, determination, and experiences that you do. After 10 weeks at camp, you’ll walk away with not only a deeper sense of who you are but also an understanding of the impact that you had on a young child’s life. At camp, we say “CFAB” (pronounced sea-fab) which stands for Camp Friends Are Best. You won’t know how true that is until you’ve left the front gates to go back home. Once you work at camp, you’ll never want to go back to anything else.

Live and work on a lake in the Minnesota Northwoods this summer. Certification and travel pay included.

Camp Lincoln and Camp Lake Hubert are two premier traditional, residential brother and sister camps which date back to 1909. With over 100+ years of family-owned operation, there is a reason why the Camp Lincoln & Camp Lake Hubert traditions have been carried on for four-generations. Located on over 800 acres of Pine and Birch forest on spring-fed Lake Hubert, our camps are in the Great Northwoods of Minnesota, 2 ½ hours north of Minneapolis/St. Paul. Catering to a diverse group of campers and staff from across the country, and further afield, we are committed to excellence in camping and providing our staff and campers with opportunities for personal growth. Camp Lincoln and Camp Lake Hubert have a 100-year plus history of creating fun and adventure in Minnesota’s lake country. As brother-sister camps, we are located across the lake from each other, with separate facilities and activities, but under the same ownership and long-standing mission and purpose. Alumni from all across the USA and around the world talk with pride about their wonderful memories and the great times at Camp Lincoln and Camp Lake Hubert.
