Here are some of the more frequently asked questions about working at Aloha Beach Camp. Feel free to contact us if you have further questions.
If I work at Aloha Beach Camp, where will I live?
Most of our staff lives within 30 minutes of camp. Since we're a day camp (not a sleepaway camp), we DO NOT provide housing for our staff. If you don't reside locally, you are still welcome to apply. But if you are hired for employment you will be responsible for securing housing on your own.
How will I get to work?
Our staff is required to ride our buses and vans to and from camp each day as a portion of your salary would include managing camper safety and supervision on the vehicles.
Where is the camp located?
Our business office is located in the Western San Fernando Valley, Los Angeles, CA. The camp program takes place at various beaches and aquatic venues throughout Los Angeles. Approximate driving times from local universities are: USCB 80 minutes; USC 30 minutes; CSUN, UCLA, Pepperdine; Cal Lutheran 20 minutes.
How much money will I make?
The general salary range for working full-time for all 9 weeks of camp is between $2,700-$3,300. Your salary will depend on previous experience, school year completed, position(s) held and other factors.
What jobs are available? What will I be doing?
The above salary range includes the positions described below. However, please keep in mind that your job may include additional responsibilities beyond those listed here including, but not limited to, driving a camp bus or van and other duties:
Camp Counselor/Lifeguards, where you'd have your own small group of kids to supervise and play with each day. You would also be trained and certified as a lifeguard which is a fundamental condition of employment for working here;
Beach Specialists, where you'd lead sand-based activities like arts & crafts and sports and games
Surfing Specialists, where you'd specialize in teaching surfing to our campers;
Jet Ski Specialists, where you'd supervise and operate our jet skiing program; and
