Camp counselors guide and ensure the safety of children as they engage in camp activities. They assist in the activity planning process, receive special training to fully support children, and lead them as they participate in camp events.
We are looking for an enthusiastic, attentive camp counselor to lead, support, and motivate campers as they enjoy all that the camp has to offer. The camp counselor will help plan events and lead group events, monitor campers and respond to incidents, such as behavioral problems or accidents, log events and maintain records relating to activities, and discuss camper participation and concerns with camp staff members. You should be positive, proactive, and caring while focusing on giving campers a fun, safe camp experience.
This is a great summer job for a teen near Jenkintown, PA and surrounding areas. To succeed as a camp counselor you should be upbeat, patient, decisive, responsible, organized and possess strong leadership skills. If you believe you have these qualities, we’d love to meet you!
