Positions Available

We place 2-3 General Counselors and 1-2 Specialty Counselors in each bunk. As a General Counselor, you will not only sleep in the bunk with your campers, but you will spend each day participating in general camp activities –- from meals to sports activities or even just hanging out during the downtime.  We believe that in order to be an effective General Counselor, you'll need the following qualities: patience, compassion, fairness, great listening and communications skills and the ability to relate to kids.  It is always helpful, though not a pre-requisite, that you have some prior experience working with kids.


You also live in the bunk with the campers and have general bunk responsibilities. It is very important to understand that every staff member is first and foremost a general counselor, and serves as a role model for their campers. However, once the daily activities begin each morning, specialists report to their area of specialty. The head specialist will provide guidance and training to ensure each specialist performs to the best of his/her ability. Applicants must demonstrate a strong aptitude in their specialty area and must have relevant experience teaching/coaching children.

Specialty Area Director
You will lead, teach, supervise and ensure the overall safety of the specialty area. Applicants must demonstrate significant experience teaching/coaching in the specialty area, as well as the ability to train and supervise a group of assistants. We require our Directors to be able to work autonomously, developing their own program within our camps' philosophy. Although in some cases you may not live in a bunk, we follow a team approach and all work together to ensure the highest quality program and camp experience.
