Theater Dance Assistant & Camp Counselor

As a Camp Med-o-lark Counselor, you’ll be a cabin leader, hype-person, and trusted grown-up all in one. You’ll live with campers, help them feel safe and included, and make camp days run smoothly—whether you’re leading activities, cheering on creative moments, or guiding the magic of cabin life in our screen-free, non-competitive community.

Core Responsibilities

Keep Campers Safe & Supported
Be the steady, caring presence in your cabin—supervising campers, following safety procedures, and helping everyone feel secure, seen, and cared for.

Bring the Fun (and the Creativity!)
Lead or assist in activities like arts, music, dance, athletics, or outdoor adventure—making each day engaging, positive, and all about trying new things.

Build Cabin & Camp Community
Help campers make friends, solve conflicts kindly, and feel like they belong. Jump into campfires, evening programs, festivals, and all the big Med-o-lark moments.

Cabin Life = The Real Deal
Guide the daily rhythms—wake-ups, meals, clean-ups, bedtime routines, and everything in between—with clear expectations, good humor, and lots of encouragement.

Be a Great Teammate
Show up for your fellow staff, communicate well, and help keep camp running smoothly—because the best summers are built together.

In addition to being a Cabin Leader, as the Theater Dance Assistant and Show Choreographer, you help bring performances to life by creating and teaching engaging choreography that matches the energy and story of each show. You work closely with campers and staff to teach routines, refine movements, and build confidence on stage, all while keeping rehearsals fun and organized. You support dancers of all skill levels, assist with staging and timing, and help ensure each performance runs smoothly, encouraging creativity, teamwork, and a love for performing arts.
