I have been in management for many years.
If I were the director of the camp I would want to see someone show up for an interview looking like they could do the job immediately if we came to terms. :-)
Don't show up looking like a city-slicker who would be afraid to get dirt on them.

I think you should dress like you are qualified for the job. NOT in your helmet and wetsuit, etc. But you know. Clean and neat but well used GEAR, don't choose your rippiest rattiest stained up beloved pieces, and no tanktops or shorts...but you can wear your boots, your zipoff pants, wicking wear, layers...like you COULD go to work that afternoon. I would rather see you with a caribiner in your beltloop than cufflinks on your shirt.
Probably wouldn't hurt to drive up in a dirty car with some of your stuff visible from inside either. Your kayak on the luggage rack, your climbing ropes in the backseat and a nalgene with a fresh beverage in the passenger seat. They will know you are the real deal.
Still you conduct yourself like anyone else does at the interview. Good handshake, casual confidence, talk it up, good eye contact, insightful questions, see if you can connect with the interviewer and sell your skills to their program.
Your demeanor is all job interview. Your look is all experienced outdoorsman.
I used to work at wilderness therapy camp and when we got applicants in that were all dressed up...it was a real eye-roller.

I've seen them all. Shirt and tie, Jeans and T-shirt.
I would say, at a minimum, you need to dress business casual. It is a good rule of thumb to dress as well as the person giving the interview, or better.
It's also good experience for when you will be interviewing for a "real" job.

Even for a job like that where you WILL wear jeans and t-shirts, it never hurts to look sharp for an interview. I would do the tie thing if I were you.

I used to positioned on makeup each and all of the time, yet now till that is a few thing significant i do no longer, like going to the shop, to a pals, or only out i do no longer difficulty. yet going to church, to a occasion, or a job interview I do! i think of that is risk-free to declare you're able to present day your self the appropriate you are able to, i do no longer know if it might make it or harm it, they only prefer to renowned which you place attempt in, and finding presentable facilitates. whether that is only a sprint of makeup like somewhat beginning place, some mascara and lipgloss, it nevertheless facilitates.

maybe not as nice as shirt and tie, but in job interviews, it's always good to err on the side of too nice/professional. maybe khaki type pants and a button down or polo shirt?

Wear cloths that are clean and nice but similar to what you will wear for the job. Hiking boots for example. Good luck.
