Assistant Counselors

Profile

Assistant Counselors spend part of their day supporting the camp program (assisting in activity areas, helping in the camp store, etc); around 6-7 hours each day in food service including food preparation, serving, and cleanup; and part of their day participating in camp activities with the campers in their cabin (going to dances, talent shows, evening competitions, etc.).

ACs sleep in cabins or lodges as a third staff member. ACs are invited to attend as much of the staff training week as they are available. They are also eligible to join in to the area training

week for lifeguard, ropes, sailing, and other specialized trainings as well provided that they have relevant background in one of these areas.

Eligibility: At a minimum, AC's must have completed either their senior year in high school or the Sandy Hill CIT and JC programs. Most AC's are 17-19 years old. AC's are required to commit to at least 5 of the 8 weeks of the summer although most are here for the whole summer. Most AC's also need to be available to work during the four two-week weekends during the summer. There are approximately 20 Assistant Counselors on staff each summer.
