We offer summer farm camps June-August and are looking to bring in a few more qualified camp counselors!

We are looking for day Camp Counselors to supervise young campers and make sure they learn and have fun!

What do Camp Counselors do? The most important part of all Camp Counselor duties is to ensure campers stay safe at all times.

Being reliable and able to build good relationships with children are two essential traits of a Camp Counselor.
