Camp Counselor and Educator

If you thrive in a group, have great listening skills, love to keep things fun and make it up as you go, and have good judgment to keep kids safe, then this job is for you.  We promise that as a counselor/educator at Hosmer Point you will never be bored, and you’ll learn skills and form friendships you will lean on for the rest of your life.

Each counselor/educator lives in a cabin with one other counselor and ten campers, who are young people of all genders, aged 9-15.  Campers live onsite for two weeks at a time, with 48 hours off in between sessions - so being able to maintain your personal energy is important. Our staff and campers come from all over the country and world with about half coming from Vermont.  We offer a sliding scale for camp tuition and serve families from a wide variety of backgrounds.  Our mission is to make a beautiful, fun, accepting place where each person can be their best self and feel a sense of respect and belonging.  We have a chance to build a community that is how we wish the whole world could be, a safe “home” where campers make memories that will carry them through difficult moments the rest of the year.

Counselors accomplish this mission by being their authentic selves, being excellent role models and listeners, and caring deeply for the campers.  We also plan and teach amazing and silly outdoor activities all day long (and into the evening)!  This job is a great background for anyone seeking a career working with children or managing outdoor recreation programs, as well as anyone looking for leadership experience.  Education, Social Services, Outdoor Recreation, and Sports-related majors are some examples of academic fields where this job will provide particularly relevant experience.  We are also happy to work with counselors to develop this job to meet internship requirements. 

Counselor/educators must be available June 12 - August 15 and be at least 18 years old.
