Our cabin counselors are the heart and soul of the camp staff. We look for counselors who are caring, enthusiastic and have a genuine concern for children. We need responsible young adults to serve as role models for our campers. Our goal is to have a staff that mirrors our camper population. Many of our staff members have diabetes, asthma, a blood disorder, or are cancer survivors.
Counselors are responsible for the overall well being of each camper.
Counselors accompany campers to each activity, and participate with the campers. During orientation, all staffers learn how diabetes, asthma, cancer and blood disorders affect each camper. For example, to complement our professional diabetes staff at Camp Coqui, cabin staff learn how diabetes affects the body, how to check blood sugars and how to watch for signs of high or low blood sugar levels. Candidates interested in Camp Coqui and Camp Mountain Air should be able to work at both camps. Special circumstances will be considered.
