Counselors guide campers through casting, knot tying, lure building, fish identification, and ethical catch-and-release practices, while modeling responsibility, focus, and respect for nature.
Beyond the water's edge, Fishing Counselors are fully immersed in camp life. They support cabin routines, share meals, participate in community moments, and contribute to camp-wide programming. Working as part of the Activity Counselor team and reporting directly to the Waterfront Director, Fishing Counselors collaborate closely with Cabin Counselors, Division Leaders, and camp leadership to ensure safe supervision, positive youth development, and a high-quality Basecamp experience.

  • As a member of the Activity Counselor team, co-lead two evening programs, lead one evening program, and provide coverage and supervision during additional evening programs as assigned.
