These are the recommended requirements for each position. However, we may be able to work around some of the requirements, by sending you to clinics to gain certifications, or other pre-camp training programs. The girls are in camp for eight weeks. They are OUR responsibility and there is no greater trust, than that placed on us by the camper's parents. We expect no less from our staff than their complete dedication to the campers needs.
All counselors are general counselors with emphasis placed on one teaching area.
The most important aspect of being a counselor concerns the relationships you help to develop with and among the girls. General counselor duties include bunk counseling, trip counseling, supervising meals, and other general duties. If you are the type of person who can create a positive atmosphere and have a genuine interest in working with children, we encourage you to apply. After reviewing your completed application, either my Assistant Director, Tracy Carlson, or I will contact you about the availability of a position and arrange a personal interview or extended telephone conversation devoted to a thorough discussion of your responsibilities as a counselor at Camp Walden.
