Camp Counselor

Cabin counselors at New England Music Camp are the backbone of our social and recreation programs. They live in the cabins with our campers, and plan and supervise the afternoon recreation and evening social activities. We are looking for university students from a wide range of experiences and backgrounds who will bring a love of mentoring young people in a nurturing and supportive environment. No musical experience is necessary as we have faculty that provide the musical instruction. Counselors are there to provide the social and recreational activities. The New England Music Camp is seeking university aged students for counseling positions for the 2026 camp season. To be eligible for employment, candidates must have reached the age of nineteen and have completed at least one year of college or a similar experience prior to the opening of camp. We are looking for people who are committed to creating a space where all campers can thrive. The present salary range extends from $2800.00 to $3000.00 (contingent upon assignment). There is also a $300 travel stipend that is paid at the close of camp. Campers arrive on June 28, 2025. All counselors are required to arrive on June 18, 2026 for counselor orientation. Lifeguards will arrive June 16th, 2026. Anyone applying must be willing to commit to the entire camp season (June 18th – August 21st). This includes the two-week BYSO camp and counselor week. The Boston Youth Symphony Orchestras (BYSO) will once again offer a 10-day camp immediately following ours, through August 21st. An additional $1,000 stipend will be given to those hired to work BYSO. In order for NEMC to offer a variety of recreations, we are focused on hiring counselors that are certified in archery, sailing, and lifeguarding. Having those certifications increases your chances of being hired but doesn't guarantee you being hired. We are looking for people with certifications in all areas for the coming summer!
