Cabin Leader

Join us at 4-H Camp Timpoochee this summer as we celebrate 100 years of providing summer camp experiences to you of all ages! We are thankful to be able to continue this today with amazing Camp Staff! This summer, Camp Timpoochee will be running approximately 8 weeks of summer camp! We have a mid-summer break over the 4th of July holiday which staff are welcome to travel or stay on camp and enjoy the amazing firework show in Destin, Florida. 

We are located in Niceville, Florida, and have a third of a mile of waterfront right on the Choctwhatchee Bay. All our cabins and buildings are climate-controlled, which offers a nice respite from the summer heat. 

Training begins on May 20th, 2026, and is paid training. All applicants must be age 18 by this date. No experience is required to be a Cabin Leader! Just a desire to make a difference and have a memorable time doing so.  We will provide you will all the training and certifications you may need. These include American Red Cross Waterfront Lifeguard/First Aid and Shooting Sports! We provide room and board starting with training all the way to the end of summer. Lodging is also provided during the weekend time frame. Campers generally arrive on Monday and are off-site by Friday afternoon, leaving weekends open to rest and re-coup or to explore the beautiful Emerald Coast!

Our leadership team strives to provide a memorable summer of growth and leadership to all our camp staff. We have worked with various schools and universities to also ensure you receive internship credit for your summer work as well. If this is something you are interested in, let us know during your interview!

We also have a recruitment incentive! If you are brought on as a Cabin Leader, anyone you recruit who is hired also qualifies you for an additional $100/person bonus at the end of summer. 

In an effort for full transparency, we have filled almost all of our Female Cabin Leader positions, but have several Male Cabin Leader positions available. Any and all are welcome to still apply by following the application instructions. We cannot wait to connect!
