Golf Instructor Internship / Cabin Counselor

– Camp Cobbossee for Boys –

Monmouth, Maine

THE JOB

Cobbossee is a 4-week, 2-session sleepaway summer camp in Maine. The dates for this position run from June 14th to August 10th, 2026. For more on what summer camping actually is, see the very bottom of this document!
 

Cobbossee is looking for a few talented and motivated Golf Interns this summer. One of the campers’ and staffs’ favorite places of recreation on site is Cobbossee’s driving range. Nestled into our forest, it is here that boys ages 8-15 learn how to drive golf balls safely and with excellent technique through the close attention of the Golf Instructors. 
 

Golf is a relatively small program in comparison to the team sport programs of Cobbossee, yet all boys will spend time together at the driving range. The golf program ranges from absolute beginners to intermediate players. Golf candidates must have an intimate knowledge of the fundamentals of the game as well as a passion to teach the game to beginners. Older and more experienced boys will take field trips out of camp alongside the counselors to many of the renowned golf courses in the area for a morning or afternoon adventure away from camp.

 

The golfing diehards in the camper ranks will develop close relationships with our golf instructors allowing rapid improvement and personalized coaching. Those interested in coaching in the future should seek this role out for further experience in the skill development and instruction of younger players. 
 

Each Golf Instructor, as with all program staff at Cobbossee, work a residential role as a Counselor living in a bunk with (and caring for!) a set of campers whilst teaching at the driving range or off site throughout the day. This position is also responsible for the upkeep of the driving range, intra-mural competitions and generally contributing to a strong Elite Sports team alongside the other small programs. You want to belong to an amazing sport program and do good work all summer? This is for you.

 

THE BENEFITS

Ever wanted to see New England? Well, in addition to your salary and bonus, Cobbossee will provide you with a travel stipend so you can get out to Maine without spending your own money.

Room and board is also provided all summer, so you won’t spend any of your own money on living expenses (the food is famously good at Cobbossee. No, really, it is).

Further, days off and nights out are spent with other adventurous folks like you. Our counselors make lifelong friends at Cobbossee. Many return year-to-year.

 

INTERNSHIP BENEFITS

We can configure your employment this summer as an internship! If you are in any child-centered major (teaching, education, coaching) or any sports-related field (sports management, kinesiology, movement, physical-education), this experience can be one of the best paid internships you can find. 

 

THE BOTTOM LINE

“Summer jobs” are often seen as throwaway jobs. Not here. This job is going to challenge you. You are going to give of yourself, have an absolute blast, develop strong friendships with your peers, and really make a difference in young people’s lives. 

You should come work at Cobbossee because we are one of the best. We develop counselors like we develop campers. You will change for the better. It will truly be the summer of your life.

For anyone not familiar with the huge world of sleepaway camps in New England, it works as follows:

All over the northeast each summer, families send their boys and girls up to New England to spend anywhere from a couple weeks to the entire summer at a sleepaway camp. Sometimes people who are not from the east coast see this as a strange choice, maybe even a mean choice! “Don’t they like their kids?” the question goes. Of course they do. They love their children and it’s hard for them to be away from them for the time they are at camp. But parents sacrifice time with their kids in the summer because summer camp is really good for young children. Camp (especially longer-term camps of four-to-eight weeks) teaches children independence, self-reliance, and confidence through the teaching of new skills, improving at sports, and living away from home. It isn’t always easy. But it is worth it! Crucial to this process are you, the counselor. You become like a family member to the campers in your cabin. In fact, you will find yourself developing really fast yourself, just so you can be the best counselor and instructor possible for your kids! It is rewarding, challenging, and transformative work to care for campers.
