Summer jobs are available with Rec-PAC, the six-week summer camp program run by the Fairfax County Park Authority. 

There are more than 200 positions available. Applicants must be at least 18 years old and must have or be willing to obtain CPR and first aid certifications. 

Rec-PAC was canceled last summer due to COVID-19, but will be back for 2021 with health precautions in place.

Pay starts at $11.43 an hour for camp counselors and $13.06 for camp directors. 

The Park Authority is hosting a series of six virtual information sessions for people interested in Rec-PAC jobs, with interviews immediately following. The information sessions are scheduled on these dates: 

March 17, 11 a.m.-11:30 a.m.
April 7, 6-6:30 p.m.
April 24, 11-11:30 a.m.
May 5, 11-11:30 a.m.
May 19, 6-6:30 p.m.
June 2, 11-11:30 a.m. 

These live, interactive open hires will take place virtually via Microsoft Teams. Each event will begin with a 30-minute question-and-answer period and an overview of available positions. Attendees can engage with Rec-PAC Program Manager Mike Bonneville, Rec-PAC staff, and members of the Park Authority’s human resource team. 

Job seekers will have an immediate opportunity to interview for the position they are interested in and potentially could be offered a job on the spot.
