Camp Counselor

A highly dedicated and motivated staff is key to providing Fernwood Cove campers and CITs with a positive and memorable camp experience.  The role of a Fernwood Cove counselor is multifaceted, with each counselor working as a part of a bunk family, while also instructing daily activities.  Fernwood Cove counselors facilitate all aspects of the Fernwood Cove camp program, including evening activities, weekly Trip Days, and our special events.

The inclusive and supportive camp community provides our campers, CITs and staff with a variety of learning opportunities, helping them to grow to the best versions of themselves.  Through their daily responsibilities, Fernwood Cove staff not only learn valuable life skills, they refine their approach and techniques through repeated hands-on, real world applications.  Staff members contribute to the diversity of Fernwood Cove by sharing their unique personalities, cultures, and talents while serving as role models who have a positive impact on the lives of every Fernwood Cove girl.

The staff experience at Fernwood Cove is a unique combination of personal growth, professional development, making a positive impact, and creating friendships and memories of a lifetime. Fernwood Cove staff come from around the world and work as either Counselors or Support Staff.

The Fernwood Cove Counselor staff experience is holistic and incorporates responsibilities in all aspects of the Fernwood Cove program. They are specialist instructors who teach one or more activities. Fernwood Cove Counselors are also bunk counselors, overseeing all aspects of bunk life throughout the camp session.

The Fernwood Cove Support Staff play an integral role in the day-to-day operations of camp. Support Staff opportunities are available in the Kitchen, Housekeeping, Maintenance, and in our Healthcare department each summer.
