Positions @ Camp
Group/General Counselors
Each group of campers is led by 2 – 4 Group Counselors who serve the role of mentor, coach, older sibling, teacher and friend, with General Counselors assisting as needed. Much of campers’ summer success lies with the relationship they develop with their counselors, who spend the day working with their campers and participating in activities with them. We look for applicants who have patience, compassion, great listening and communication skills, spirit, and the ability to relate to children.
Division Leaders
Division Leaders act as a liaison between the Directors and the group or division for which they are responsible.
Division Leaders are direct supervisors of the campers and counselors in their groups and assist the Directors with all activities, group issues, and staff performance. The Division Leaders are fully involved in all aspects of their campers’ day, including meal supervision, group management, and scheduling. They meet with the Directors before each day begins to exchange information as to the events of that particular day and maintain an open line of communication with their counselors and campers. Each afternoon, after campers go home, Division Leaders review each of their groups’ Daily Reports, which are filled out by their counselors. The Division Leader meets with a Director and communicates with parents at this time.
Activity Specialists
Activity Specialists are staff members who teach a specific activity at camp. The role of a specialist is to provide instruction to campers in their specific area of expertise with the assistance of the General/Group Counselors.
