Counselors

Profile

Counselors have primary responsibility for the health, safety, fun, and personal development of eight to eleven campers each session. Counselors teach and/or assist with activities throughout the day based on their skill set and the needs of the camp, and sleep in the cabins or lodges with their campers at night.
In addition to living in cabins and caring for campers, they will also be responsible for the equipment and instruction associated with the activities in which they teach or assist. Some Counselors are invited to attend pre-camp area training
in activity areas such as waterfront (lifeguard and either sailing, boat-driving, or canoeing), ropes course, equestrian, or international cooking/crafts provided that they have relevant background and experience in one of those areas. A few Counselors serve as leads for particular activities such as Lead Magician or Lead Outdoor Living Skills (aka OLS).
Eligibility: Counselors must be at least 18, although most are 19-22 and have finished at least one year of college. Counselors must attend Staff Training week and are typically at camp all or most of 8 camper weeks. There are over 100 Counselors on staff each summer making up approximately 2/3 of the overall summer staff.
