Junior Counselors

Ready to take your leadership experience to the next level? This paid position is the ultimate leadership experience for high school students not yet old enough to become full-time staff members.

Requirements: Must be 16 years of age or older and completed 11th grade by summer. Completion of CIT I/II preferred, not required.

As a Junior Counselor, you will work alongside staff, hold similar job responsibilities, and inspire campers! You’ll work with the camp leadership staff to set your schedule, selecting weeks to work, receiving training, and leading activities. Junior Counselors work a range of weeks at each camp (usually 3-4 weeks) but still go home over the weekend. Applicants cannot be both a CIT and a Junior Counselor in the same summer, at the same camp. Junior Counselors who turn 18 during the summer may be given the option to apply for a full-time staff position for the rest of the summer.

Applicants will be able to indicate on their applications if they are interested in specializing in lifeguarding or archery/slingshots.

Space is limited and all Junior Counselor applicants will be interviewed. Placement in the program is based on experience and is at the discretion of the camp director. Junior Counselors receive a stipend for each week worked.

Applications, including contact information for three references, must be completed online by January 10, 2022. The application can be found HERE. Applications received after the deadline will be considered if positions remain.
