Do you have the devotion it takes to join the Red Robin team?

At Red Robin Country Day School & Camp, supervision and safety are our top priorities. We maintain smaller class sizes and a counselor to camper ratio of 1 to 3, with certified specialty staff running each activity area. We have a registered nurse on staff too, because we know scrapes and “boo-boos” happen. It all adds up to a nurturing, warm environment that helps children thrive.

If you love children and want to offer them your focus, energy and talent, consider joining our team. It’s a dynamic experience in which no two days are alike. They are all filled with the joy of working with children. At Red Robin, leading and caring for children as they learn new skills, form new friendships and thoroughly enjoy themselves is one of life’s greatest pleasures. It could be yours!
