SUMMER CAMP JOBS:
Camp Olympia’s summer camp counselor staff is a select group of caring, loving individuals who have a heart for children. Camp Olympia has summer camp job openings and we want you! We are looking for college-age students to be a role model for young children and make a positive difference in their life. At Camp Olympia our counselors impact campers and lead through their lives, by loving on one another, and by the daily examples they set.

CAMP FACILITIES: Natural stone cabins, swimming pool, newly resurfaced tennis courts, baseball/softball field, soccer and football field, dining hall, 2 large gyms, acres of Guadalupe river-front, rustic amphitheater and outdoor chapel.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Our summer camps Rio Vista for boys and Sierra Vista for girls offer over 40 exciting and challenging activities that campers choose from. Every camper gets to choose 8 or 9 activities depending on the term that make up their personalized schedule. This allows each camper to focus on the activities and skills he/she is most interested in developing. Horseback Riding and Swimming classes are assigned according to skill level and some sports are also divided by age and skill level. We want campers to learn skills, and have fun in a safe supervised environment while interacting with other campers and staff. Classes are approximately one hour and campers will participate in two or three activities in the mornings depending on the term and two in the afternoons, alternating four or five on Mondays, Wednesdays and Fridays and another four or five on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Saturdays.

CAMP LEADERSHIP CIT/LIT PROGRAMS: Our 17 year olds who are too old to be a camper but not yet counselor age have the opportunity to join the C.I.T. Program where they will learn leadership skills, teaching ideas, and have a great time transitioning into counselors.

FAMILY CAMP SESSION(S): We have two Family Weekends every April and would love for you to come! Activities include Ropes and Rappelling, Canoe/Kayak, Team Sports, Camp Fires, Vespers, Team Building Games, and much more.

CAMP SESSION DATES & FEES:
Our 2018 Camping days run from June 3rd to July 28th, with several term options. Please visit our website for details and pricing at: Our Camp Website Link: www.vistacamps.com

CAMP FACILITIES: When "The Heart" was first built, it was a resort hotel, so all our "tepees" have central air-conditioning. Campers under 12 live in the original hotel, 4-5 girls per room with a counselor, indoor plumbing. Older girls live in dormitory-style "tepees" with 10-12 girls and 2-3 counselors per room, indoor plumbing. All bunk beds are twin size.

CAMP PROGRAM INFO: Heart O' the Hills has been a summer camp for girls since 1953. Director Jane Ragsdale was a camper herself who always wanted to run a camp. She became program director when she was 21, and after 12 summers in that role, became director. 2015 was her 50th consecutive summer to be at camp in some capacity.

We offer two- and four-week sessions. All campers are asked to take Red Cross swim lessons, field sports and horseback riding. There is a list of some 50 electives that campers can choose from to round out their schedules, so there is something for everyone--from the most athletic to the most creative. The emphasis is on learning new skills in a fun environment.

New campers draw from a hat to determine tribe affiliation. The friendly competitive spirit of the tribes are infectious!

Campers leave their electronics at home and learn to live and relate to each other the old fashioned way.

Counselors arrive a minimum of one week before campers to take skills certification courses and learn all about how The Heart operates.

CAMP LEADERSHIP CIT/LIT PROGRAMS: Heart LITes are too old to be campers but haven't had a year of college, so don't qualify to be counselors. They may apply to come as volunteers.
