The best help campers have the time of their lives, but what makes a good Camp Counselor? A Camp Counselor job is the best way to spend a summer. It’ll be a summer you never forget! Whatever skills, hobbies, and interests you have, you can get a great job at camp.
Children all over America head to Summer Camp to escape the city and spend summer outdoors. They’ll learn new skills and make new friends. You’re there to help make sure they have the best summer possible. Working with children can be incredibly rewarding. Seeing them come out of their shell and take on new challenges can be indescribable. It can be a pretty tough job too though. If you’re a positive person who can push the limits of their comfort zone, camp’s for you!
Do you have a passion for horse riding, coaching soccer, performing arts, or something else? There are lots of different activities on offer at camps, and each camp is looking for staff to help deliver them. Your hobbies, interests, and skills are going to influence what type of Summer Camp job you end up working in. If you can show you’re passionate about more than ‘just’ one activity, then you’ll be that bit easier to hire!
If you don’t have experience working with children, then don’t worry, you can still become a Camp Counselor! Any experience you’ve had will help you stand out in the application stage, and give you a head start once you’re in America. Experience in babysitting, looking after relatives, or volunteering and coaching will all help make you a good Camp Counselor. If you’re thinking about applying to work at camp, why not try and grab some experience before you fly?
