Now hiring!!!
If you're a passionate, patient, caring, kind-hearted and energetic dog lover, then being a Staff Counselor here at Camp American Canine might be right for you. And, it's also about hard work and hustle, cleaning, scooping p**p, cleaning, being organized, attentive to detail, and CLEANING.
The suitable applicant will be a team player who possess a strong work ethic, has solid communication skills, a positive/upbeat "can do" attitude, and of course, a PASSION for dogs and their well-being.

You must be physically fit and able to work on your feet, and be outdoors in all types of great NE weather, as well as able to clean and keep organized the facility, top to bottom, all day, every day.
You should have experience (animal care: kennel work, dog daycare or farm/barn/zoo work is specifically required). The ideal candidate will be a reliable and responsible, dedicated animal lover who is attentive to detail, enthusiastic, able to multi-task, work independently/be self-motivated and one who will be an "anchor" that will organize, prioritize and "own" everything that needs doing. Our Camp mantra is: "Know the job, do the job!"
