Our Activity Counselors are uniquely trained, certified and/or educated staff members in a particular activity area or discipline who have a passion for teaching and working with children. They enjoy sharing their knowledge & skills with our campers while helping them grow and develop their skills.

At Camp Highlander, we have a devoted group of staff who return summer after summer because this mountain (and the people who call it home) mean something to them. A summer at Highlander will have high demands but the rewards will be tremendous! You will grow as a leader, problem solver, team player and create life-long relationships and memories with great people.⁣

We invite you to join our team, grow as a leader, and experience the life-changing impact of Camp Highlander!
