Covid-19 Update - Camp Owaissi is making plans to operate this summer in either an overnight or day camp format. In 2020, Camp Owaissi operated as a day camp due to the ban on overnight camps due to Covid-19. This year we are hoping that we will be able to operate as an overnight camp however we are making plans to operate as a day camp in the event that we aren't given approval for overnight camp. In the event that Camp Owaissi operates as a day camp, changes might be made to certain positions in order to better support the requirements of day camp. Camp Owaissi is committed to hiring an incredible staff team that are eager to support the mission of the camp as we strive to provide youth with a one of a kind summer camp experience.
If you have any questions about working at Camp Owaissi then please contact the camp director at director@campoac.com.
