The Hiring Process

Consider our workshop a two-way interview! If you are asked to attend a workshop you will have a special opportunity to see River Way, meet our directors as well as some of our returning staff. At the same time, we get to learn about your amazing personality and skills! You will be housed and fed during your interview weekend while you tour our facility and participate in fun and interactive activities. We dive right into camp-life with a series of information sessions, games and scenarios. The best part about the interview is that we provide a friendly and comfortable environment for all of our applicants where you make genuine connections to last.

If you are outside of California, we would love to get to know you over Zoom or Facetime! We require a short 3-5 minute video submission made by you. The video is for you to showcase your skills, talents, certifications, hobbies, and personality! We do not expect a cinematic masterpiece. Just be as creative as you can! The video should be sent directly to our email at Employment@RiverWayRanchCamp.com.

River Way Ranch Camp partners with a selection of hiring agencies for hiring international staff. You may even see some of our representatives at a hiring fair near you. We will likely attend fairs in England and Australia. Ask your hiring agency representative about how to get involved in a hiring fair! Even if you have already applied through your agency, please apply on our website and create a 3-5 minute video that showcases who you are. Be as creative as you would like. The video should be sent to our email at Employment@RiverWayRanchCamp.com. You should hear from someone in our office within two weeks of submitting your video. A minimum of two virtual interviews between you and our directors is required, however, it could be up to four.
