Who We Are
My Summer Camp Experience combines two outstanding camps into one resource for finding the perfect summer camp job.
About Trail’s End Camp
At Trail’s End Camp, we help to create special experiences for our staff and campers. We believe your summer should be carefree, providing countless opportunities to try something new, develop a skill, or follow your passion. Most importantly, summer camp is a place where you’ll create some of life’s most meaningful friendships.
Our goal is to serve as your guide as you experience summer with 300+ staff, hand-picked during our diverse and equitable recruitment process. We spend the entire off-season recruiting a highly skilled team of college students, education students, seasoned educators, coaches and/or students looking for careers in sports management/exercise science, and students with a variety of other backgrounds.
We’re seeking people, regardless of experience, that share our passion for making a difference, who have a desire to try something new, are willing to work hard and play hard, and truly love to laugh and have fun. Want to join our team?
Our History
For the past 75 years, Trail’s End has been widely regarded as one of the United States’ preeminent camps. At the center of this experience is the Goldberg/Honigfeld family: three generations of passionate leaders, who have dedicated themselves to truly making a difference in the lives of everyone that walks through our gates.
Facilities
Located just 2 ½ hours from New York City and Philadelphia, our unsurpassed facilities are set on 450 acres in Wayne County, Pennsylvania. As you step on the grounds, you immediately get a feeling that Trail’s End is a special place.
The Trail’s End Difference
From state-of-the-art facilities to our deep history filled with traditions, to the quality of the dynamic programs we offer, the Trail’s End Experience provides our campers and staff with an opportunity to be part of a warm, nurturing environment, where everyone is accepted for who they are and is encouraged to grow along the way. We use the expression “I am Trail’s End” to let the community know that each of the 550 campers and 300 staff members come to camp with their own passions, aspirations, interests, strengths, and things they would like to be better at in life. A summer at Trail’s End is unlike any other, as you will work hard to provide for your campers while experiencing a fun, rewarding, exhilarating, relationship-building 8 weeks.
About Chestnut Lake Camp
At Chestnut Lake Camp, we create memorable experiences for our staff and campers. We believe summer should provide you with countless opportunities to try something new, develop a skill, or follow your passion. Most importantly, summer camp is a place where you’ll create some of your most meaningful friendships that can last a lifetime.
We will serve as your guide as you experience summer with hundreds of staff, all selected during our diverse and equitable recruitment process. We spend ten months of the year identifying and hiring a highly skilled team of college students, education students, individuals studying sports management, exercise science, psychology, and other fields of study, as well as seasoned educators, coaches, and young professionals.
We’re seeking individuals that share our passion for making a difference, with a desire to try something new, who are willing to work and play hard, and ready to laugh and have fun. Are you ready to join our team?
Our History
Since 2008 – when the owners of Trail’s End Camp opened Chestnut Lake – we have become a preeminent camp that combines the traditions of a summer-long experience and options for its campers to enjoy camp for different lengths of time (3, 4, or 7 weeks). Our staff works through the full summer to lead exceptional programs and activities, provide the highest level of care and guidance, and create opportunities for connection and discovery that can change lives forever.
Facilities
Located just 2½ hours from New York City and Philadelphia, our extraordinary facilities are set on 200 acres in Wayne County, Pennsylvania. As you step on the grounds, you know immediately that you are in a special place.
The Chestnut Lake Camp Difference
From state-of-the-art facilities to incredible rituals and traditions, to the quality of the dynamic programs we offer, Chestnut Lake provides campers and staff with an opportunity to be part of a warm, nurturing environment, where everyone is accepted for who they are, and where growth is encouraged every step along the way. We use the expression, “Bring it Out” to shine a light our commitment to help each camper and staff member become the best and truest versions of themselves, to unleash their hidden passions and talents, and to leave camp better for having been a part of our family.
