If you're someone who enjoys hands-on work, variety in your day, and being part of a mission-driven team, we'd love to meet you.

• Moving furniture and equipment as needed

• Supporting volunteer work groups and community service crews
• Maintaining a safe, clean, and welcoming camp environment

We're looking for someone who is:

• Dependable and takes pride in quality work
• Comfortable working both independently and as part of a team
• Safety-minded and willing to learn
• Comfortable working outdoors in a variety of weather conditions
• Positive, flexible, and ready to pitch in wherever needed
• Committed to providing excellent customer service to campers, families, volunteers, and fellow staff

• At least one year of maintenance, landscaping, facilities, construction, or related experience
• High school diploma or equivalent preferred
• Ability to safely operate maintenance and landscaping equipment (or willingness to learn)
• Strong communication and organizational skills
• Ability to manage multiple tasks and priorities

This is an active, hands-on position that requires:

• Standing and walking for extended periods
• Working indoors and outdoors in varying weather conditions
• Lifting and moving materials weighing up to 100 pounds
• Safely operating maintenance equipment and tools

• Must be at least 18 years old
• Valid California Driver's License
• Must be at least 21 years old to transport campers and participants
• Ability to pass DOJ/FBI fingerprint clearance

Camp Via West has been creating life-changing experiences for individuals with disabilities for decades. When you join our team, you're not just maintaining buildings—you help create the environment where campers build friendships, confidence, independence, and unforgettable memories.
