• We have two kinds of counselors: general counselors and specialists.
• All our counselors are assigned to a specific age group with whom they live in the cabins, eat meals and attend special events and evening activities.
• Specialists spend their four daytime activity periods at their specialty (e.g., lifeguards are at the waterfront, tennis specialists instruct on the courts, etc.).
• General counselors accompany their age group of campers from period to period and participate with them in the various activities that Pontiac offers.
• Regardless of position, though, our primary responsibility is the health, safety and happiness of our campers!

• Camp Pontiac is interested in speaking with those candidates who have attended at least one year of college.
• We hire candidates who played on a varsity high school team and/or college varsity, junior varsity or club team.
• Child care experience and/or college majors including elementary ed, secondary ed, special ed or physical ed is a plus.
