How to Apply
Role Description: Camp Counselor
We can teach you the activities that most spark your excitement and creativity. And you can teach us if there are new activities that you would like to create here! Counselors are the heartbeat of camp. Most counselors spend a session or two outside of the cabin as well, contributing to programming or other areas of interest.
