Camp Counselor - Continuous Learning Opportunities

We are looking for teachers, social workers and experienced souls with a heart for making a positive difference in the lives of kids. We are seeking additional counseling/social work staff to support Dr. Lew and our social skills team on our modern campus this summer.

The general counselor is the life-blood of camp. A general counselor has the greatest impact on working with campers. They receive paid training during staff orientation and are supported by camp leadership (division heads, program director, social skills director and the camp director) as they help exceptional young men enjoy a tremendous camp experience while learning key social skills. In addition to scheduled evenings off, each general counselor has a 36 hour day off each week. General Counselors also go with their campers on weekly adventures out of camp, ranging from Hershey Park Amusement Park to the Baltimore Inner Harbor.

General Counselors live in dorms (private or shared with one other staff member) and work with the age group of young men to whom they have been assigned. Campwide, the staffing ratio is 2 adults for every 5 youth and this allows for a great deal of support and reinforcement at all levels.

All staff enjoy the flexibility of copious indoor space for program areas. From air-conditioned lounges with televisions to incredible gyms, fitness center, heated indoor pool and a myriad of other facilities, including an art studio featuring skylights and a kiln, this camp experience provides a synergistic blend of traditional camp elements (from fishing to swimming to overnight trips with campfires and marshmallows), to innovative offerings such as the new STEM academy.

Camp Sequoia believes that the best outcomes happen when we hire the best staff. The majority of our key leadership staff have been with the program for 5+ years. We are proximal to the Appalachian Trail and within public transit of Boston, NYC, Philly, Baltimore, and DC. With 36-hour "super-days" off, staff can enjoy a wide variety of options. Or, they can enjoy downtime in their room and smell the baking chocolate wafting through the air from the local chocolate factory. One of our staff will leave the summer with a free cruise! Could it be you? Our VERY BEST staff are invited for an end-of-season excursion to HAWAII (free travel) with the Founding Director of the Hawaii Volcanoes National Park Institute.
