Employment Opportunities for Responsible and Enthusiastic Individuals

“YMCA of the Pines is a second home to so many. For a lot of us like myself it’s so much more. Camp gave me room to thrive as a child, taught me helpful lifelong skills as a teen and kick-started many opportunities as I grew into my adult work life. I took so much with me out into the world, but couldn’t stay away for long. I am blessed to work at the Pines and help make camp magical.”

-Kaityln K, former camper, current employee, 18 years at YMCA of the Pines
