Counselors work with one consistent group of children for the duration of each camp session. Campers are grouped by grade, with 10 - 15 campers present in a group each day.

Counselors have the opportunity & autonomy to shape the camp experience for their group. In addition to leading their campers in activities, counselors forge a group's identity, foster a sense of trust and belonging, and facilitate growth and development in each individual child.

Working as a camp counselor is an ideal starting point for students hoping to pursue people-oriented or education-based professions. The skills that camp builds (leadership, conflict resolution, problem solving, community building, and so on) are valued and valuable in the post-grad workplace.
