The National Ability Center (NAC) is inviting enthusiastic, dependable, and big-hearted individuals to support our summer camp programs. This role is perfect for college students on summer break, educators and school staff, retirees, or school bus drivers looking for meaningful summer seasonal part-time work.

Shuttle drivers transport campers of varying physical, developmental, intellectual, and cognitive disabilities from Salt Lake City to the NAC Ranch in Park City (and back) five days per week. A Camp Counselor, Intern or Admin Staff is always present on the bus to assist campers as needed. This is a part-time seasonal position from May 21, 2026 to August 14, 2026.

Two round trips are required each day, Monday-Friday – 1st trip each morning around 7:30am – 9:00am and a 2nd trip each afternoon around 3:30pm – 5:00pm. We are willing to consider splitting this driving requirement with two shuttle drivers if candidates are only able to commit to a certain shift each day (i.e. mornings only, or afternoons only), ideally with flexibility to occasionally cover both shifts when needed.
