As a maintenance crew member, you play an essential role in providing our campers with a safe environment so they can enjoy an amazing summer experience. You will be trained to safely operate any necessary grounds keeping equipment, including mowers, leaf blowers, and weed whackers. We take the time to train you so you can execute to our standards and expectations, including OSHA 30 & CPO certification.

When needed, you assist with minor electrical, carpentry, and plumbing work whenever our buildings require repair. While maintaining our grounds and facilities, you will also conduct a variety of janitorial tasks such as cleaning and restocking bathrooms. You remove any debris and trash you spot and ensure it is properly disposed of.

We're seeking capable and motivated people to be maintenance technicians on our Grounds Crew who are able to:

• Safely operate grounds keeping and heavy equipment such as commercial mowers, tractors, backhoes, chainsaws, leaf blowers, trimmers, etc.
• Willingly take on tasks such as debris removal, trash pick‑up, and janitorial work to ensure the cleanliness of grounds and facilities.
• Assist in the performance of minor electrical, carpentry, and plumbing work needed for the maintenance and repair of buildings and facilities.
• Properly maintain equipment and machinery.

If you have a valid driver's license, are safety‑forward, and have the ability to bend, walk, and lift up to 50 pounds, this may be the job for you. We’re looking for people who enjoy being part of a team and the camaraderie that goes with it. Hands‑on experience in electrical, plumbing, and/or carpentry is a plus.

Home to 11 independently run JCC day camps, the Henry Kaufmann Campgrounds is a small non‑profit that manages and operates three facilities located in Long Island, Rockland County, and Staten Island.

Enhance the camp experience and provide a safe environment for the campers and counselors who call our grounds home. Each summer day we welcome around 2000 campers and camp staff at each HKC site.
