Camp Lokanda is currently looking for General Counselors with previous experience working with kids and/or coaching a sport. This involves implementing a schedule that works with our campers of various ages and ability levels.  Activity periods include time for instruction as well as playing.

Additional details and information about this position and Camp Lokanda will be shared during the interview process.

• Experience the impact camp has on youth development.
• Understand the responsibility, importance and impact of the camp counselor role.
• Strengthen teamwork and communication skills as a member of our large international staff.
• Get connected with professionals in the field through our global network.

We are looking for experienced, enthusiastic and diligent instructors for ALL SPORTS. This is a great for college athletes to stay engaged and share your passion with our campers. 

We also offer several types of internships for school credit that may align with your degree. Lets talk!  

Responsibilities: Working at camp is not your typical job. You are living and working at the same place in a community lifestyle for 8 weeks. Your primary role will be working with the campers as a counselor, living in a bunk with campers and other co-counselors. A counselor is always directly responsible for the safety of the campers they are supervising. You report directly to the Campus Leaders and together lead the campers through life at camp.

Camp Lokanda is a premier co-ed sleep-away camp located in the amazing Catskill Mountains in Upstate New York (approximately 2 hours from New York City).  We have been around since 1937 and have approximately 400 campers ranging from ages 7 to 16. To look after so many campers, we invite 250 staff to join us from all over the world.

Lokanda prides itself on being a safe, fun environment for everyone to grow and develop. As you take good care of our campers, we in turn take good care of you. We provide a good salary as well as housing, laundry and food for the summer.
