Ways to Help at Camp

Full Time Counselor

The primary role of a counselor is to care for their campers as they walk alongside them through the daily activities of camp. This role requires energy, patience, love, and a willingness to look beyond your own needs in order to wholeheartedly serve the children in your care. Counselors arrive at camp the day before the campers to prepare the cabins and then they are there to welcome the campers as they arrive. Each Counselor is responsible for a cabin of 4 campers alongside 2-3 Co-Counselor in order to provide the very best care for each camper. Training is mandatory. Full time counselors must be 18+

Evening Relief Counselor

A team of adults that come in Monday-Thursday evenings 7-10pm and spend time with a cabin of campers alongside a Co-Relief Counselor while the Counselors have their break. They are encouraged to come earlier in the evening to prepare and spend time with the campers. This is a great, meaningful time spent with them as they participate in a fun evening activity, wind down from their day, and get ready for bed. Training is mandatory

As with all volunteers, they are expected to be on time, follow camp rules, take direction from the Dean of Juniors, and most of all maintain confidentiality.
