Summer Camp - Overnight Camp Positions; Libbey & Whip Poor

Summer Camp 2026 – Camp Libbey and Camp Whip Poor Will

Girl Scouts of Western Ohio is seeking individuals to work with us, running our summer camps for the 2026 season! Camp Libbey is located just outside Defiance, Ohio. Camp Whip Poor Will’s 500+ acres are jam-packed with various facilities, program areas, and endless woods, creeks, and trails.

Our summer camp season begins in late May and runs through the end of July and we provide a full training and onboarding program for all staff in preparation to effectively lead and participate in summer programming with our girls.

Working at camp can be a fun life changing experience but it is also a great place to build a variety of skills that future employers are looking for. Skills you’ll develop at camp this summer include conflict resolution, interpersonal skills, creativity, and problem solving, management skills, time management and prioritization, plus valuable experience working directly with children.

As staff, you’ll spend your summer living on-site at Camp Libbey (Defiance, OH) and Camp Whip Poor Will (Morrow, OH). You’ll help girls choose their own adventures while participating in hiking, swimming, outdoor living skills, building teamwork, archery, nature activities, crafts, or badge activities.
