Position Applying For

We have three types of counselor positions. Please indicate which one you feel qualified for and what interests you.

Activity Specialist
Activity Specialists instruct a specific activity area (such as soccer, swimming, high ropes course elements, or photography) on a daily basis for up to six periods each day. Applicants must have formal teaching and/or coaching experience and consider themselves an expert in this activity area. Applicants must come prepared to instruct children ages 7 to 16 and of all different ability levels. Activity Specialists are also cabin counselors and should expect to maintain this dual role for the duration of the summer. The cabin counselor role consists of living with and supervising a cabin group of six to ten children at all times when not teaching or on time-off. There are two to three counselors in each cabin.

Activity Director
Activity Directors lead, supervise, and maintain one of five areas on camp (Outdoor Education, Waterfront, Land Sports, Arts, or Media). This position requires a high level of expertise in all areas of the department, experience making lesson plans, supervising activity instructors, giving feedback to staff, and communicating with superiors. Applicants must have formal teaching and/or coaching experience, strong organizational skills, be a self-starter, and above all, be creative and motivating! Activity Directors are part of the Administrative team and should expect to work different hours than Activity Specialists and have more responsibility on a daily basis. Activity Directors do not live in a cabin with children.

Support Staff
Residential Support Staff work in any of the five following areas: Office, Kitchen & Dining Room, Program Office, Health Center, and Staff Child Care (children ages 6 months to 6 years). Also available are our non-residential Laundry, Cleaning and Night Watchman positions. Residential Support Staff do not live with children and work similar hours to Activity Specialists and Activity Directors. Non-residential Support Staff must have their own transportation to and from camp. Job descriptions vary with the position and all require a high level of enthusiasm, a strong work ethic and the ability to take initiative.
