Summer Camp Counselor

Job Summary: (Applications open March 1, 2026)

Camp Bays Mountain is a newly established camp and retreat center located in Kingsport, Tennessee. We began as an answer for the need of a United Methodist Camp after the devastating flood of 2012 at Buffalo Mountain Camp. This will be our ninth year at the new site, and we will offer six weeks of residential and day camp for campers in grades 1-12. We need several staff members to make that happen and perhaps that includes YOU!

Responsibilities:

You will be the primary caregiver/leader of the young campers! Must be 18 years old. All weekends off Friday at 2pm until Sunday at 1:30pm. We need several people who want lifeguard training. Salaries begin at $425/Week. All meals/lodging are provided during the term except for the weekends. Your role will be leading camp songs, creating skits, leading games, camping outside occasionally, leading group initiatives/challenges, climbing the tower, canoeing at Warriors Path State Park, and going with the flow if it is hot or raining. We need counselors who will LEAD in adventures and can communicate and exhibit the Christian faith.

So if you want in on the ground level of a fairly new camp, have the desire to push yourself, love kids, be in a great environment in outdoor leadership, and be mentored as you serve as a Christian Disciple, then I want to talk to you! Contact Nathan Dugger, Director at (423) 349-8401 for more info.  Applications are all electronic for 2026 and can be found at campbaysmountain.campbrainstaff.com.
