Employment Opportunities
Thank
you for considering Pleasant Hill for summer employment. We are
located in the heart of Mohican Country in North east Ohio.
While towering hardwoods, scenic Mohican hills, natural streams
and ponds define our property landscape, a busy program schedule,
facilitated by a quality staff define each of our summer camp
programs.
We offer a variety
of camps that include activities such as sailing, horseback riding,
archery, marksmanship, crafts, canoeing, climbing tower, and
so much more. Programs and activities however, will only rise
to the level of the staff that facilitate them. Our goal at Pleasant
Hill is to strive for excellence in everything we do. Therefore
we are searching for a spiritually and emotionally mature college
age staff to help make our programs the best they can be.
