Description
As a Camp Med-o-lark Counselor, you’ll be a cabin leader, hype-person, and trusted grown-up all in one. You’ll live with campers, help them feel safe and included, and make camp days run smoothly—whether you’re leading activities, cheering on creative moments, or guiding the magic of cabin life in our screen-free, non-competitive community.
Core Responsibilities
Keep Campers Safe & Supported
Be the steady, caring presence in your cabin—supervising campers, following safety procedures, and helping everyone feel secure, seen, and cared for.
Bring the Fun (and the Creativity!)
Lead or assist in activities like arts, music, dance, athletics, or outdoor adventure—making each day engaging, positive, and all about trying new things.
Build Cabin & Camp Community
Help campers make friends, solve conflicts kindly, and feel like they belong. Jump into campfires, evening programs, festivals, and all the big Med-o-lark moments.
Cabin Life = The Real Deal
Guide the daily rhythms—wake-ups, meals, clean-ups, bedtime routines, and everything in between—with clear expectations, good humor, and lots of encouragement.
Be a Great Teammate
Show up for your fellow staff, communicate well, and help keep camp running smoothly—because the best summers are built together.
Requirements
- You’re at least 18 years old (19+ is a plus for some roles).
- You’ve worked with kids before—as a coach, teacher, mentor, babysitter, camp staffer, or all-around awesome human (strongly preferred!).
- You love creativity, the outdoors, and helping kids grow into confident, kind, independent humans.
- You can lead with heart and handle the moment—great communication, good judgment, and solid problem-solving skills.
- You thrive in a lively, team-based environment where every day is different and everyone pitches in.
- You’re ready to go all-in on camp life, living onsite and showing up fully for the community all summer long.
