Camp Deeny Riback Junior Village Unit Leaders

Camp Deeny Riback in Flanders, NJ is seeking Junior Village Unit Leaders for the 2026 summer camp season. Unit Leaders are teachers and adults who supervise an entire age group / unit. They are responsible for everything in the unit and directly supervise the counselors and campers in every aspect of their camp experience. Unit Leaders meet with the Directors before and after camp each day to review all pertinent information that arises regarding group dynamics, food issues, and scheduling. Unit Leaders also serve as the liaison between the camp and camp families. They are responsible for all contact with parents from the pre-camp phone call through the last day of camp.

We look to hire skilled and qualified staff who have a passion and desire to have kids believe in themselves and who want to see kids be the best possible versions of themselves.

Our emphasis is on having our campers build lasting friendships in a supportive community atmosphere of warmth and caring. Teachers and those enrolled in a program to become a teacher are preferred. College degree preferred. Supervisory experience is a plus. At camp we provide an environment where you can learn and develop essential work and life skills including Communication, Collaboration, Critical Thinking, Contribution, Leadership Skills, and Creativity together with Ongoing Professional Development in a beautiful outdoor setting.
