Staff Opportunities

Thank you for your interest in employment at Good Counsel Camp, a ministry of the Diocese of Saint Petersburg nestled among 175 wooded acres along the shores of a serene lake in Citrus County, Florida.

We are excited to announce that Good Counsel Camp has started a new Master Planning process to update the camp facilities and enhance programming. These improvements are much needed and will provide the foundation for long-term success for future generations. This means Good Counsel Summer Camp for 7–15-year-olds is suspended for 2025.  But 2026 opportunities are expected to be better than ever before. We will add you to our mailing list for updates about employment opportunities for the 2026 Summer Camp season. Please stay tuned! A brighter future awaits! May God bless you!
