Camp Counselors: The Heart of the Camp
Camp counselors are the heroes in shorts and t-shirts, always ready with a smile and a helping hand. They lead activities, provide guidance, and ensure campers are having the time of their lives. Whether it’s organizing a wild game of capture the flag or comforting a homesick camper, counselors need to be energetic, compassionate, and ready for anything.
Camp Coordination and Leadership Roles: The Organizers
Beyond the frontlines of counseling, camp coordination and leadership roles keep the camp running smoothly. Depending on the camp, these include positions like program directors, arts & craft coordinators, sports & activity leaders, head counselors, and more. These roles require strong organizational and leadership skills. If you’re great at juggling schedules and love teamwork, one of these positions could be perfect for you.
Camp Kitchen Staff: The Culinary Wizards
Who says camp food has to be boring? Camp kitchen employees are the culinary wizards who whip up delicious meals that fuel all the fun. From prepping breakfast to baking campfire treats, their work keeps everyone happy and energized. If you love cooking and working in a lively environment, a camp kitchen job might just be your ideal spot.
Additional Roles: The Unsung Heroes
Camp wouldn’t be complete without the vital roles of nurses, administrative staff, groundskeepers, and more. There are tons of roles at camps that are more “behind the scenes” that may be a fit if counseling, cooking, or coordinating are not for you.
Camp Directors: The Captains of the Ship
Camp directors are the backbone of any camp, overseeing all operations from behind the scenes. They handle everything from staff management to program planning and safety protocols. Directors need to be strategic thinkers and excellent communicators — and usually need experience in a prior campy role.
