All counselors run an activity area and share responsibility for a cabin. They become an integral part of a creative, educational community of 100 campers, 30 counselors and 15 other staff (health care, kitchen, maintenance). Our youngest counselors have finished their first year in college and our oldest are school teachers.
We are looking for counselors who want to hone their leadership skills while living and working with children. Since all counselors work with a cabin as well as teach activities, skills that align with activities and trips are valuable. We are currently looking for counselors with skills in woodworking, video production, horseback riding, art, swimming or boating, silversmithing, tennis and ceramics. All counselors go on hikes and overnight trips, so being comfortable in the outdoors is important. Skills in cycling, rock climbing, martial arts, music and theater are also valuable.
For staff, the season is June 18, through August 20, 2024. It includes 10 days of staff orientation before campers arrive. We teach a class in Wilderness First Aid during staff orientation, and will help you locate Lifeguarding classes if you are interested in taking them.
WHY WORK AT A SUMMER CAMP?
Working at any summer camp is so much more than just a job. Prepare to make friends from all over the world, lifelong memories, and have a geniune impact on the lives of children.
OUR CURRENT NEEDS
We are always looking for passionate people who are comfortable working with children and enjoy being outdoors. We are especially interested in anyone with skills in Woodshop, Music, Stained Glass, and anyone that would be willing to take a Lifeguarding course.
We are also looking for an RN or LPN to be half of our health care team. Work would be full time but we have some flexibility about days. Salary includes tuition for camper-age children and housing if needed.
