Thank you for your interest in working at Saint Peter's Summer Program (SPSP). This summer will be full of excitement, hard work and growth. When you choose to work as staff at SPSP, you are choosing to become a summer missionary for the Catholic Church... right here in Olney! It's so much more than "just another summer job." We expect instructors to approach the summer with a desire to give their summer to God; to lead others to Christ while growing in their own knowledge and love of Christ and the Catholic Church's teachings; and to serve as a positive, Catholic role model for the children who will be in their care.
If you will be 16-22 years old by June 1, and feel you will be an asset to our team, please apply. Before applying, we ask that you have a personal email account and a cell phone in order to provide that information. If hired, you will need either a checking or savings account set up for direct deposit. Please click below to apply.
Uniform/Dress Code: While working, all staff, be they gentlemen or women, shall wear shorts that reach six inches or less from the knees, jeans or pants (women may also wear dresses/skirts that fall below the knee) and shall wear a camp staff shirt (provided at no cost). Yoga style pants are not acceptable.
PLEASE NOTE: HIRING IS ON HOLD AS OF 5/4/24. We are still looking for volunteers for each week of camp. See link under the "Volunteer" section below.
Students entering grades 8-12 in the fall are eligible to volunteer at Saint Peter’s Summer Program.
Volunteers must be willing and able to commit to the hours of 7:30 a.m. – 3:00 p.m. for the full week during which they would like to volunteer.
Volunteers will follow the same schedule as the instructors: Daily Mass from 7:30 a.m. – 8:00 a.m. followed by opening song and prayer in the gym, class, group lunch, theology and Eucharistic Adoration. Volunteers must be agreeable to participating in the full experience, beginning with daily Mass and ending with Eucharistic Adoration and a brief daily wrap-up meeting. If desired, and with approval, volunteers may elect to stay longer than 3:00 p.m. to help with Extended Care.
Volunteering will be done on a week-by-week basis. You will sign up for the weeks you will serve and receive a confirmation email that you are needed. At the end of every week, volunteers will be evaluated by their mentor instructors and the Program Directors/Assistant Directors. Volunteers with positive evaluations will be invited back.

Yoga-style pants are not acceptable. Volunteers deemed not dressed to code will be sent home to change.
