Work at a premier coed camp this summer!
COUNSELOR RESPONSIBILITIES

* All counselors live in cabins with our campers. On the Junior Campus (camper ages 6-13) there are typically 8-14 campers in each cabin with 2-3 college-aged staff members. On Teen Campus (camper ages 13-16) there are typically 18-24 teenagers in each cabin with 3-4 college-aged staff members.

* Keep your cabin neat & clean. Make sure your campers’ cubby/shelf area is neat & tidy.  Counselors (not campers) clean & disinfect the cabin bathroom each day.  Cabin Inspection takes place daily.

* Ensure good personal hygiene of your campers.  Campers (and staff) must shower daily, brush teeth, change into clean clothes. 

* Supervise your campers at all times.  This is especially important when they’re not at a supervised activity. 

* Participate & Assist in all day activities, evening activities, special events, and off-camp trips.  This is key, since you’re the role model.

* Certification in first-aid and CPR is also recommended.

* Instruction is geared to the camper's individual skill level, and is patient and thorough with due regard for both safety and enjoyment.

* Counselors are expected to exhibit good sportsmanship, and the ability to work hard to ensure a positive camp experience for our campers! 

* Counselors are trained, evaluated, and qualified by the Athletic Director prior to the campers' arrival.
