Staff members must be at least 19 years of age by June 1 and/or have one year of college experience before being considered for employment.

Smoking is not allowed on camp facilities at any time.

Alcohol is not allowed on camp facilities at any time and staff may not return to camp from time-off intoxicated. Please be reminded that the legal drinking age in Maine is 21.

Possession or use of illegal drugs is not permitted at any time. Prescription and over-the-counter medications must be kept in the health center at all times due to American Camping Association requirements. This is for the safety of you and your campers.

It has come to our attention that a great number of people - including campers and their parents - are searching and communicating through various personal web pages, such as MySpace.com, Facebook.com, and many others. At Kohut, we pride ourselves in providing a wholesome atmosphere for children and require our staff to maintain appropriate personal web sites.

The following are examples of inappropriate web pate contents:

1. Pictures or text boasting of excessive drinking and/or partying.
2. Discussions about drug use
3. Sexually explicit pictures or text
4. Violent pictures or text
5. Mentioning Kamp Kohut
6. Campers' pictures
7. Pictures with Kohut's logo in it

All staff must submit a health form signed by a physician before arriving at camp and are required to have had a physical examination within the past 12 months of attending camp. A health form will be mailed to you in early spring.

In keeping with our goal of providing a wholesome environment for young people, we require staff members to limit themselves to three earrings per ear. No other pierced body parts are appropriate in this setting and tattoos are subject to the directors discretion. Questions about your body piercing or tattoo? Please email Jenny Green (jenny@kampkohut.com).

Time off at Kamp Kohut is very generous, as we expect our staff to give 110% when they are on-duty. While being indescribably rewarding, a camp counselor job is also very demanding and we want to make sure you have plenty of time to re-charge your batteries so that when you are with the kids you can give them your very best.

Time off includes one day during the all-camp orientation, two days at the mid-session break, and four other days over the course of the first and second session. These dates will be determined once you arrive at camp and are placed in your bunk assignment.

Counselors alternate evenings off with their co-counselors, which means that on your evening off, you will be dismissed at approximately 9:00pm and do not have to return to your bunk until 1:00am. During your "on" evenings, you are required to stay with your campers in the cabin until the following morning. This ensures full bunk coverage while still allowing all staff several evenings off per week.

Staff meetings are typically held on Sunday nights, in which case everyone remains on.

Time off also includes one early evening each session, which allows staff to leave at dinner time. Also, we try to give each staff member one period off each day. This will allow time for emailing, showering, and even napping!

Kamp Kohut does have a curfew of 1:00am every night, with the exception of the evening before your day off. The evening before your day off staff are allowed to sign-out overnight. However, the curfew is in effect for the evening of your day off.
