Specialists

Our Specialty Camps are a lot like choosing a major in college; campers choose one camp per session, and specialists are an essential part of their overall camp experience. In this position, you will assist the Program Lead in a variety of ways, from taking attendance to guiding campers through daily activities, as well as assisting with bathroom breaks and lunch duties. Specialists will be matched with their speciality area based on their interests and availability.

High school seniors and current college students with a background in any of these areas are encouraged to apply.

General Counselors

As a General Counselor, you will play a critical role in creating a safe, fun, and memorable experience for campers while encouraging teamwork and good sportsmanship. In this position, you will be responsible for taking attendance, following a set schedule of indoor and outdoor activities that change daily, supervising campers in the locker room, on the pool deck, and during lunch. General Counselors should be energetic, engaging, and enjoy coordinating and playing recreational games (including gaga, volleyball, dodgeball, etc.) with campers in grades 2-10.

High school seniors and current college students with an interest in working outdoors are encouraged to apply. General Counselors are supervised and receive support from their Group Leader.

Group Leaders

Group Leaders oversee campers and counselors in a specific age group. In delivering the camp experience, Group Leaders bridge leadership and supervisory initiatives with the care and facilitation of all aspects of the camp day.

Group Leaders must have experience working collaboratively and in a supervisory role. Group Leaders are those being currently in or have completed university programs in education, school counseling, social work, psychology, etc.
