In order to be a Camp Counselor, you must have compassion, great listening skills and the ability to relate to kids. We look for applicants who have experience working with children and who want to have a positive impact in our campers’ lives.
Special Note to Counselors: Our focus extends beyond typical supervision; we aim to empower our youth by providing training in effective group management. As part of this unique opportunity, counselors will have the chance to take on the role of a team lead for planned activities.
