Will I get paid for working at Pine Cove?

Most definitely. $1200 if you work first or second half (six weeks total), and $2200 if you work the whole summer (11 weeks total). Cha-ching.

First half... second half... I have no idea what you’re talking about. What dates would I work?

For all physical camps, everyone comes to orientation, which is May 17 – 24. Some roles require training before that from May 12-16. First half is May 25 – June 28, and second half is June 28 – August 2.

For all day camps, those dates are shifted down by a week but end on the same date: August 2.

Where is Pine Cove located?

Pine Cove has physical camp properties in East Texas, Central Texas, South Carolina, and Georgia. In addition, we have a traveling camp program that sets up and runs day camp all across Texas and the southeast United States.

Can I get internship credit?

Short answer: Yes! Slightly longer answer: depending on your degree plan, many of our roles can be eligible for internship credit with your school. Check with your guidance counselor to see what you can make happen.

I have a hilarious shark costume. Can I bring it with me?
