Camp counselors often face challenges such as managing large groups of children with diverse needs, addressing homesickness, and handling unexpected situations like minor injuries or disagreements. Effective communication, adaptability, and strong organizational skills are key to overcoming these challenges. Building rapport with campers, staying calm under pressure, and collaborating closely with other staff members help ensure a positive and safe camp environment. Regular team meetings and training sessions also support counselors in navigating these common issues.

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

Familiarity with safety protocols, activity planning tools, and sometimes lifeguard or CPR certification are typically required. Strong leadership, communication, and conflict resolution skills help counselors foster a positive and inclusive camp environment. These skills ensure camper safety, smooth operation of activities, and memorable experiences for all participants.

What are camp counselors?

Camp counselors are individuals who supervise, guide, and lead campers in various activities at summer camps, day camps, or other recreational programs. Their primary responsibilities include ensuring the safety of campers, organizing activities, and fostering a fun, inclusive environment. Camp counselors may also serve as role models, mentors, and problem-solvers, helping campers develop social skills and confidence. They often work in teams and are trained in first aid, emergency procedures, and conflict resolution.

At Steve & Kate's, we put radical trust in kids so that they learn to trust themselves. Campers choose minute-to-minute how to spend their time because making decisions today helps to build the self-confidence they’ll need to wrangle unknowns tomorrow. We value empowering our staff to be their whole authentic selves because everyone in our community needs to feel included!  Sound like something you can get behind? If so, we're looking for team members who are motivated babysitters, teachers, coaches, students, athletes, artists, and anyone ready to play hard and be goofy. As a Steve & Kate’s staff member, you’ll sharpen your inherent leadership skills, learn some new ones, and collaborate with interesting people, all while immersing yourself in creativity and play.

Job Responsibilities

Staff members will be responsible for facilitating activities, making connections, and monitoring safety and wellness.  Some staff members will create and/or oversee activity spaces in which campers will self-select activities, while other staff will work in rotating support roles throughout camp.  The best way to find out what your specific responsibilities would be is to speak with your local director, but activities include sewing, stop-motion animation, maker space, performing arts, arts and crafts, lounging, recreation, and so much more!

Additional Job Responsibilities

  • Maintaining an organized and approachable activity space
  • Ensure compliance with Camp Policies
  • Reporting & Recording details of notable concerns or incidents, and of injuries to campers, other staff members, or self
  • Keeping track and being aware of camper allergies and dietary restrictions
  • adding daily updates and photos to campers’ profiles

How do you know if you’re the right candidate? 

  • Does the idea of guiding kids while they make decisions for themselves excite you?
  • Are you calm under pressure and able to calm those around you?
  • Are you comfortable leading groups of kids on your own while still collaborating with a team?
  • Do you have the stamina to keep up (literally) with 4-12 year old’s bursting with energy and creative potential? And, can you bench press a kindergartener (just kidding -- can you lift up to 40 pounds)?
  • Are you passionate about sharing your knowledge & learning something new (even if a third grade is doing the teaching)?

Job Requirements

  • At least 16 years of age 
  • Minimum of 2 months experience working with camp–age children, with 1 year preferred, in either a professional, personal or volunteer setting. 
  • First Aid & CPR certified prior to Day 1 of Camp (some locations may require additional certifications)
  • By applying and accepting an offer, you are giving Steve & Kate's permission to email or text you.
  • You may be asked to chaperone campers on an off-site Field Trip where locations demand.
Physical Requirements

This position requires the employee to comply with all applicable federal, state, local, Steve & Kate's Camp, Bright Horizons’, and client site requirements concerning immunizations, employment physical/screening, and health and safety training. If hired, you will work in person in a schooled-aged camp setting to provide supervision, care, program delivery, and services per Steve & Kate's Camp and Bright Horizons’ policies, procedures and guidance, in compliance with any applicable laws and regulations, and in a manner that will ensure the safety of children in Steve & Kate's Camp's care and the employee.
