An Opportunity to Change Lives

Unirondack is a Unitarian Universalist Camp and Conference Center dedicated to providing children and families with the opportunity to participate in a community where they can live the UU values that we experience in our congregations. Every day is a new adventure full of self-discovery, exciting programs, and new connections. The magic of Unirondack is created by our staff, who work incredibly hard all summer long to create and sustain our community. If you are an unusually self-reflective and intensely dedicated person with a wide variety of interests and skills, please consider applying for a position with us. We have openings for kitchen crew, maintenance crew, and counselor. We have a limited number of openings so please don't delay-we'd hate to miss out on someone extraordinary like you!
