Job Description

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.

This position requires energy, enthusiasm, patience, and the ability to work both indoors and outdoors in varying weather conditions. Counselors play a critical role in creating the safe, fun, and unforgettable summer that defines the Kidcam experience.
