If you’re a camp director, the hiring season probably feels familiar: nonstop calls, lots of time explaining your camp, and too often realizing halfway through that the candidate isn’t a fit. On the other side, potential staff members bounce between WhatsApp chats, cold calls, and referrals, only to hear that camps are already staffed or that the details don’t line up.

CGIConnect.org is a new platform trying to clean up that mess.

The site brings all CGI camp hiring into one place. Directors can list their camps for free, post up-to-date information, and manage open positions directly on the website. Once a role is filled it can be marked – cutting down on unnecessary calls and follow-ups.

For staff, CGI Connect replaces guesswork with a guided search. A built-in chatbot asks practical questions and helps narrow down which camps might actually be a good fit, or users can filter camps on their own. That means fewer awkward “this isn’t really what I was looking for” conversations and more relevant connections from the start.

Handling the basic matching upfront and connecting directors and staff only when there’s real potential means less time spent looking and more time preparing the best camp experience for campers!
