If I'm Not Available to Work Full-Time the Whole Summer, Can I Still Apply for a Job?

Please note hiring preference is given to applicants who can work full-time the entire summer. But even if you cannot work the whole time, don't let this stop you from applying because we still may be able to work with you.

If I Work at Aloha Beach Camp, Where Will I Live?

Most of our staff lives within 30 minutes of camp. Since we are a day camp, not a sleepaway camp, we do not provide housing for our staff. If you live out of town, you are still welcome to apply, but if you are hired for employment you must secure housing on your own.

How Will I Get to Work?

Our staff is required to ride camp buses to and from work each day.  A portion of your salary would include managing camper safety and supervision on the camp vehicles.

Where is the Camp Located?

Our business office is located near Los Angeles, CA.  Camp activities take place at various beaches and aquatic venues in Los Angeles and Malibu. Approximate driving times from local universities are: USCB 80 minutes; USC 30 minutes; CSUN, UCLA, and Pepperdine; Cal Lutheran 20 minutes. 

How Much Money Will I Make?

The general gross salary range for working full-time for all 10 weeks of camp is roughly between $3,600 - $4,000. Your specific salary would depend on previous experience, school year(s) completed, position(s) held and other factors.
