Waterfront Staff
General Program Counselor
Program Director

We hire 10 to 12 staff every summer and our camp is unusual in that staff
have both cabin counseling and program responsibilities. As a cabin
counselor, staff are role models, best friends, entertainers, inspirations, big
sisters, and parents to their cabin group. Program responsibilities include
teaching and managing in a specific program area such as arts & crafts, sports
or riding.  Because of this we look for staff who love working with children and
are creative, fun, and patient.  We also look for staff with excellent teaching
skills, and strong skills in a program area.  

Also, because of our small size, we can create a position specially designed for
individuals with a variety of interests or talents.  For instance someone might
work in the arts & crafts program for a short time each day, then take a group
on a nature hike, teach sign language, or juggling, and then help with
gardening, cleaning, or office work.  This variety allows an opportunity to try
new things, develop skills in other areas, and to enjoy a break from routine.
You should know...
•  Dates of employment include six days of pre-camp training.
•  All positions are live-in. Staff sleep in their own cabin and also have a
private staff lounge.
•  You will have one day and one night off a week, plus time off each day to
relax.
•  Once we receive your completed application, we will contact you to
discuss
salary, answer any questions you may have, and to discuss the
possibility of an interview.
