Top Types Of Camp Instructor Jobs

• Overnight Summer Camp Counselor

  Salary range: $28,000 - $36,500

  As an overnight summer camp counselor, you plan activities and guide campers through a camp curriculum. Sleepaway camps differ from regular camps in that children and adolescents are typically on-site with little or no parental supervision, so many camps have late-night activities to keep kids occupied. However, some overnight summer camp counselors do not spend the night at the camp—many work in shifts, though someone has to be on-site to handle any problems or emergencies that occur. Overnight summer camp counselors frequently help create activities, modify plans based on scheduling needs, interact with children and parents, and supervise junior counselors.
