Metairie, LA - Camp Counselor

As a Kidcam Summer Camp Counselor, you are the heart of the camper experience, serving as a role model, mentor, and leader for children ages 5-13. Counselors are responsible for supervising and engaging with their assigned camper group, ensuring safety, building connections, and fostering a positive, inclusive environment where every child feels valued and has fun.

• Pre-Camp: Counselors participate in staff training to learn Kidcam's policies, safety procedures, and activity facilitation techniques. They prepare to lead games, activities, and transitions while developing leadership skills to create a memorable camper experience.
• During Camp: Counselors actively supervise their group, facilitate daily activities, encourage participation, and maintain a fun and safe environment. They are expected to engage in all aspects of camp life-from sports and swimming to arts, science, and special events-while modeling teamwork, positivity, and respect. Counselors also help with transitions, enforce rules, and assist with any camper needs, including emotional support, behavior redirection, and adapting activities for inclusivity.
• Post-Camp: Counselors assist with end-of-day wrap-ups, ensure their group's area is clean and organized, and help close camp each week by reviewing camper progress, highlighting achievements, and supporting special events or closing activities.
