Organization Overview:
ESF Camps & Experiences has been a vital influence in the camping industry since its evolution in 1982. ESF (Education, Sport and Fun) features award-winning camp programs in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, Maryland, Delaware, and Florida for people of all ages. ESF is considered one of the country’s leading camping companies and people developers.
ESF has benchmarked with blue-chip companies and organizations which include Disney, GE, Cirque du Soleil, Four Seasons, The US Marine Corps and IDEO. ESF operates an impressive portfolio of 40 nationally recognized Day Camps in multiple states (www.esfcamps.com), baseball camps with the Philadelphia Phillies (www.philliesacademy.com) in 4 states, basketball camps in 5 states with the Philadelphia 76ers (www.jr76erscamps.com) along with the Brooklyn Nets (www.netsacademy.com). ESF has launched new programs this year, including BOLD Summers (www.boldsummers.com), our pre-college academic program.
Our Major Camps are specialty camp programs designed to prepare and encourage campers to be tomorrow’s leaders by immersing them in a FUN summer experience focused on innovation, creativity, communication, problem solving and collaboration. Our residential summer pre-college programs empower intellectually curious young adults and rising leaders to pursue their academic interests through engaging curriculum.
We also have a non-profit foundation which focuses on after-school mentoring and summer camps for underserved youth in 2 states (www.esfdreamcamp.org), and a non-profit foundation which provides a unique acting program to children and adults with physical disabilities (www.actingwithoutboundaries.org).
At ESF, we hire only the best of the best and we take great pride in the fact that our team members aspire to positions of leadership and responsibility. In recognition of the individual strengths and talents of our team members, we actively support both personal and professional development every summer and provide the tools and guidance necessary for advancement.
Our training and leadership development programs propel ESF to the forefront of the camp industry. Additionally, a high percentage of team members return to our ESF family each year to create amazing life experiences for our campers.
