WHAT WE LOOK FOR We seek mature, young men and women who enjoy working closely with children and have the ability to teach with a high level of proficiency in one of our instructional areas. We're looking for adults who want to make a difference, not kids passing time between semesters.
In addition to their primary cabin and instructional responsibilities, counselors serve as role models, mentors, and coaches to inter-camp teams.
They will participate in activities such as exhibition games, competitions against counselors from other local summer camps, talent shows, the camp band, and the end-of-the-year musical. Counselors accompany their campers to out-of-camp events, including camping trips, whitewater rafting, whale-watch cruises, ball games and other activities. The camp covers the cost of these excursions.
