2021 Summer Wilderness Trip Guide
Spend your summer guiding canoeing and hiking trips throughout the Upper Midwest!
North Star Camp is a residential summer camp in Northern Wisconsin. Founded in 1945 we've been providing meaningful summer experiences for kids from all over the US. We provide a diverse program with athletics, watersports, arts and adventure activities as well as a top notch wilderness trip program. Each summer we hire approximately 90 staff from all over the US and abroad. If you're looking for a more typical summer job, but in a fun environment, camp is the place.
Our trip leaders will lead groups of 10-12 kids and 2-3 adults on canoeing and hiking trips to places like Quetico Provincial Park, The Porcupine Mountains, The Brule and The Flambeau Rivers.
North Star will pay to put all trip leaders through a Wilderness First Responder (WFR) and Life Guard certification courses.
North Star pays a very competitive summer salary, reimburses for travel expenses and will also pay to put staffers through various certification courses. Food, lodging and travel stipend are included in our compensation package.
We're looking for people eager to spend their summers as a part of our community, making a difference in the lives of children. All candidates are subject to a background check. We are a smoke free environment and all staff members must be able to pass a drug screening at the start of the summer.
Important Note re: COVID-19
North Star Camp operated successfully during the summer of 2020. Our residential summer camp operated with campers and staff, and our Wilderness Trips Program took participants on a full slate of canoeing and hiking trips. We expect to be fully operational again in 2021. Operating amidst a pandemic requires putting into place comprehensive protocols aimed at keeping all campers and staff healthy and safe while also ensuring that our program is meaningful and fun. These protocols added additional layers of health and safety but also placed some limitations on all members. We anticipate that many of these protocols will be in place in 2021 to ensure that we are protecting every participant and staff member. As part of our hiring process, every prospective staff member will be provided with our COVID protocols.
