This is not your typical summer job — it’s an opportunity to mentor, teach, grow personally and professionally, and create life-changing experiences for campers… and yourself.
🏕️ Role Overview:
As a Camp Counselor, you’ll play a dual role:
- Live with and care for a group of 10–14 campers alongside a co-counselor
- Lead or assist in one of our 60+ activity areas — from sports and arts to adventure, waterfront, and even office/admin roles

- Athletics & Sports (soccer, basketball, tennis, etc.)
- Waterfront Activities (swimming, lifeguarding, boating)
- Creative Arts (crafts, theater, music)
- Adventure & Outdoor Rec (ropes course, hiking, nature)
- Office & Administrative Support
We provide full training on how to create, adapt, and lead activities — no need to be an expert, just eager to learn!
💼 Key Responsibilities:
- Supervise and mentor a group of campers in your bunk
- Lead engaging, age-appropriate activities in your area of specialty
- Foster a safe, supportive, and inclusive camp environment
- Be a role model and source of encouragement for campers every day
