Summer Camp Counselor 2025

Description

Summer Camp Counselor

Are you energetic, creative, and passionate about working with young children? Apple Montessori Schools is now hiring Summer Camp Counselors for our 2025 Camp Season! We’re looking for enthusiastic individuals who love to engage with children ages 2 to 8 and are excited to create a summer full of learning, laughter, and lasting memories.

As a Summer Camp Counselor, you will work closely with two other counselors and a single group of children, providing daily care, supervision, and encouragement. You'll be with your group throughout the day, participating in all camp activities—from outdoor play and creative arts to STEM and water fun. Counselors assist activity specialists, support camper participation, and serve as positive role models. More importantly, they create a safe, warm, and joyful environment where campers feel free to try new things, build friendships, and grow in confidence and independence.
