At Kamp Kohut, our staff are a key part of each camper's summer experience and we go out of our way to ensure that only compassionate, devoted, and competent staff work with our campers. We hire mature, kind people with wholesome values and a genuine passion for making a positive impact.

In addition to the year-round Admininstrative “Leadership” team, Head Counselors, and Support Staff, Kamp Kohut employs “Activity Specialists.”

Activity Specialists undertake a dual role. They are hired to teach a specific activity in which they are considered an “expert” and to live in a cabin with children as a counselor. These individuals are real “people persons,” who truly enjoy working with kids and have a high level of previous experience. Since they serve as instructors and educators -- and more importantly, as role models and mentors, these staff are caring, dedicated, highly qualified and carefully trained during nearly two weeks of Kohut Orientation.

We feel that Kamp Kohut's high caliber program can only be accomplished under the attentive supervision of sensitive, enthusiastic, and skilled staff. Accordingly, the counselor-to-camper ratio remains a low 1:3.

Activity Specialists are typically college age and come from colleges and universities across the country. We also recruit international counselors from English speaking countries through a highly reputable collegiate student exchange program called BUNAC. The average age of our Activity Specialists is 21, however we also have college graduates, teachers, and doctoral students. Minimum age is 19 or one year of college.

Our year-round Admin “Leadership” team also believes in a hands-on approach and therefore remains involved in all of the children's day-to-day activities and operations at camp during the summer. You will always find Lisa, Dan, Steve, and Jenny on the bunk-line, in the Dining Hall, or jumping into activities around camp.

Also available 24 hours a day seven days a week are our fully qualified nursing staff. Our two full-time registered nurses reside on camp and are assisted by three part-time nurses who live locally. A pediatric medical group is on-call 24/7 and has offices 15 minutes away.
