This gives instructors direct ownership over what they do in the camps. Instructor hours are generally from 8:15 am to 3:30 pm.

SASH Testimonials
“It’s a new experience every day. You never know what you’re gonna walk into. It might be a dinosaur running down the hall or some knight with a cape. Everyone has so much fun and it’s such a cheerful and uplifting community.”
The Community here is so unique…It’s incredible that I’m able to get paid to go to adoration…mass, and then spend all this time with the kids…(SASH) is focused so much on our spiritual life and on how we can grow as a person instead of just a job that we go to during the day.
“We all get to work together with these amazing kids and we get to be like one big, giant, family, and attend mass and grow in our spiritual journeys together.”
“I’ve loved working at Sash ever since I was a volunteer. It teaches us how to become teachers to the campers and spread Christ in little ways and gives us the opportunity to become closer to Jesus every summer with so much time spent with him in the mass and adoration. I’ve loved everything I’ve learned from the kids and my coworkers.”
“I’ve been a part of SASH ever since it started, year 1, which was 2019…I was a camper. It’s so fun. You get to meet so many people and get so close to them. It’s just a great experience to have and I think everyone should try it out.”
