What Will I be Doing at Camp?
You’ll be working as a Camp Counsellor, one of the key people who keeps camp running. Your main role is to make sure the campers have the best summer ever. This can look different depending on your placement, but roles usually fall into two categories: General Counsellor, supporting and caring for campers day to day, or Activity Leader, leading sessions in a specific skill or activity.
General Counsellor
You will usually be living in cabins with the children, looking after them at meals and downtime and taking them from activity to activity! You might also get to take part in the activities yourself, plan camp events or try your hand at teaching /coaching a skill! Think of this role as being an older sibling for the children on camp!
Activity Leader
You will be responsible for running activities on camp in a skill you enjoy such as a sport, performing art, or watersport! You will plan activities and run sessions with the children to teach them your skill! You may also be in cabins with children and will probably get the chance to get stuck in with new activities you’ve not tried before!
When Do I Need to Be Available?
Most placements are from June to mid-August. If you’re free from May to late August, then even better!
The more flexible you are with your dates, the more camps there are to view your application. The latest start date that we can accept is June 18th, so please be mindful of this when signing up!
Where Will I be Placed?
We work with hundreds of camps all across the USA so you could be staying anywhere. We'll work with you during the application process to find your perfect camp location.
