Top 8 Reasons to Work at Camp

1. Make a Difference

On top of all the fun that you’ll have, working as a Camp Counselor is a really rewarding job. Counselors play a big part in shaping the lives of the young people they work with. The campers will look up to you and learn more than just skills from you. They will learn life lessons which will be a big part of their growing up. You’ll be amazed at the impact you will have on a child’s life in two short months when you work at camp.

2. Learn

You will learn so much about yourself at camp. You’re spending two months in a new environment and will be glad you embraced the opportunity. You’ll gain valuable new perspectives from interacting with campers and counselors from different walks of life. It’s truly incredible.

4. Be a Mentor/Learn From a Mentor

Not only will you learn from some of the best professionals in your field, you will be like a big brother or big sister to campers. Just as we go out of our way to train our staff and develop skills in teaching, coaching and child development, you will in turn teach campers the invaluable skills of independence, personal growth, teamwork, goal setting and more.

5. Outdoor Office

It is pretty awesome getting to work in the great outdoors in a beautiful setting on a lake. While your friends are doing the 9-5 job, you are living, working and playing in the great outdoors! Camp provides adventures and activities you will not experience elsewhere.

6. Feel Super Healthy

You’re outside, moving around all day, playing sports, and participating in other various activities. All that fresh air, sunshine, and movement will have you feeling healthy and active for the start of the next school year!

7. The Summer Camp Traditions

Olympics, color war, campfires, stargazing, July 4th, s’mores, group sing, the dance off… Outside of all the regular activities there are so many camp traditions that happen every summer. Some of your fondest memories of summer will be participating in special events and traditions.

8. Life Long Friendships

Camp is a unique environment because it’s the ultimate team endeavor. Counselors are surrounded by people who are like-minded in many ways and come with a similar appetite for adventure. On camp departure day counselors have a network of friendships that extend from coast to coast and around the world!
