What are the key skills and qualifications needed to thrive as a Camp Counselor, and why are they important?

To thrive as a Camp Counselor, you need strong leadership, organizational abilities, and experience working with children, often supported by certifications in CPR and first aid. Familiarity with activity planning tools, safety protocols, and basic outdoor equipment is typically required. Excellent communication, patience, and teamwork help counselors connect with campers and collaborate effectively with staff. These skills ensure a safe, engaging, and positive camp experience for all participants.

What are some typical challenges faced by professionals working in a camp rotation schedule, and how can they be managed?

Working on a camp rotation schedule often means spending extended periods away from home, which can be challenging both personally and professionally. Common challenges include adjusting to irregular sleep patterns, maintaining work-life balance, and managing homesickness or isolation. Many companies address these issues by providing comfortable accommodations, recreational facilities, and reliable communication tools to stay connected with loved ones. Building a strong camaraderie with fellow team members and establishing a routine during off-hours can also help ease the transition and improve overall well-being.

What is a Camp Rotation?

A Camp Rotation refers to a schedule or system where campers or staff members move between different activities, stations, or locations at a summer camp or similar setting. Each rotation is designed to give participants exposure to a variety of experiences, such as sports, arts, nature, and team-building exercises. This approach keeps the camp experience dynamic and ensures everyone gets to try multiple activities. Rotations are usually organized by time slots and groups, making it easier to manage large numbers of participants while maximizing engagement.

Description

Are you looking for a fun and rewarding summer job where you can make a positive difference in the life of a child? Join our team for an unforgettable summer experience! Dominique Dawes Academy was founded by 3-time Olympian and Olympic gold medalist Dominique Dawes. Inspired by her commitment to developing children through fun and challenging gymnastics and ninja programming, Dominique Dawes Academy fosters a child's physical, mental, and emotional health in a safe and encouraging environment. We are more than just sports. We are committed to helping kids build confidence, stay active, and experience their very own "gold medal moments."


We are looking for energetic, positive, and dependable team players who enjoy working with children and want to help create an exciting summer camp experience. Gymnastics or ninja experience is not required. We provide training! A love for working with kids is a must.


Overview

Summer Camp Counselors help create a fun, safe, and engaging camp environment for children ages 4-13 through gymnastics, ninja obstacle activities, games, and other camp experiences. Counselors work closely with the General Manager, Program Manager, and fellow team members to provide a positive camp experience while supporting daily camp operations.


Key Responsibilities

  • Help lead and assist camp activities including games, obstacle courses, open gym time, arts and crafts, lunch/snack, and group challenges.
  • Provide instruction in preschool gymnastics, recreational gymnastics, and/or ninja activities (training provided).
  • Be a positive, energetic role model for campers.
  • Help create a welcoming and supportive environment for children of all skill levels.
  • Follow lesson plans, schedules, and safety procedures for camp rotations.
  • Assist with supervision of campers during transitions and activities.
  • Maintain a clean and safe gym environment and assist with equipment checks.
  • Support teammates and contribute to a positive team culture.
  • Represent the mission and values of Dominique Dawes Academy in all interactions with campers, families, and team members.
  • Perform other duties as assigned by management.

Requirements

  • Minimum age 16 years old
  • Experience working with children is preferred (camp, childcare, babysitting, coaching, etc.)
  • Sports or athletic background is a plus, but not required
  • Strong communication skills and a positive attitude
  • Dependable and punctual
  • Ability to be active, move around the gym, and stand for extended periods of time
  • Ability to work collaboratively in a team environment

As we strive to maintain a safe environment for children, background checks and fingerprinting are required for employment.


Camp Schedule & Commitment (SEASONAL)

Summer camp operates Monday through Friday throughout the summer season (June - August). Counselors are asked to commit to a minimum of 5 weeks of summer camp, and must work each day during their assigned camp weeks. Core camp hours are approximately 9:00 AM - 3:00 PM, and counselors must be available to work during these hours for their assigned camp weeks.


Some shifts may also include extended care coverage, which may take place during:

  • Before Care: approximately 8:15 AM - 9:00 AM
  • After Care: approximately 3:00 PM - 5:00 PM

Availability for extended care shifts may be discussed during the interview process. Staff training begins in May and must be completed prior to the start of assigned camp weeks.


Interview Process

Selected applicants will be invited to attend an in-person hiring event at the gym location.

The hiring event will include:

  • A group interview
  • An opportunity to interact with staff and learn more about the camp program
  • A short activity based assessment on the gym floor

Hiring events are expected to take place throughout the spring, and selected applicants will receive an email invitation with event details and RSVP information.
