As a Support Specialist, you are the foundation of camp! Without you, camp just doesn’t work.
Every great camp runs on what happens behind the scenes — and at Camp IHC, Support Specialists are the infrastructure that makes the entire operation possible. This is one of the most essential roles on property, and we treat it that way.
Support Specialist roles span across several critical departments:
Health Center — Our on-site medical team keeps hundreds of campers and staff healthy, safe, and cared for all summer long. We're looking for registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, EMTs, nursing students, and healthcare assistants who are comfortable working with children ages 7–16 in a fast-paced, residential environment. If you're in the medical field and want a summer that trades fluorescent lighting for fresh air without leaving your skillset behind, this is it.
Kitchen & Dining — Camp IHC serves three full meals a day plus snacks to a community of 700+. Our kitchen team handles everything from prep and production to service and dietary accommodations. We're looking for individuals with experience in food service, culinary arts, nutrition, or hospitality — as well as those with a genuine passion for cooking and feeding people well at scale.
Operations & Facilities — Camp is a living, breathing property. Our operations team keeps it running — managing maintenance, groundskeeping, equipment, vehicles, deliveries, and the daily logistics that hold everything together. If you have technical skills, a CDL or valid driver's license, trades experience, or simply thrive doing hands-on physical work outdoors every day, this team needs you.
Housekeeping & Campus Care — Clean, safe, well-maintained spaces are non-negotiable at IHC. This team ensures that every cabin, common area, and facility meets the standard our campers and staff deserve.
What you should know about this role:
Support Specialists operate with more independence and structure than most camp positions. Your schedule, your team, and your day-to-day will look different from the counselor staff — but you're still part of the same community. You'll eat meals together, attend evening programs, and have real, meaningful time with campers throughout the summer. The experience is camp through and through — just from a different angle.
Who thrives in this role:
People who take pride in doing essential work well. Nurses and healthcare professionals looking for a change of scenery. Culinary students and line cooks who want a summer where their work feeds a real community. Tradespeople, drivers, and operations-minded individuals who like solving problems and staying busy. You don't need to be a "camp person" walking in — you just need a strong work ethic and the willingness to be part of something bigger than your department.
