Positions Available

Cabin Counselor/ Activity Instructor

Being a cabin counselor is a lot like being a mom (you’re on call 24 hours a day) because you live with and are responsible for approximately 7 campers in their camp home and in their daily routine, i.e. wake-up, cabin clean-up, meals, hygiene, rest hour and bed-time. One day you might dress up for your cabin's air band performance; the next day you might reassure a nervous camper about to do a roll in kayaking. You will also teach one or more general or special skills with other members of our staff.
