Camp Corlears Assistant Counselor

Camp Corlears Assistant Counselor Camp Corlears is the summer camp program for Corlears School. Each summer for six weeks, from the end of June through the end of July, Corlears welcomes young children – both children who do and do not attend Corlears School – to its Camp Corlears program. At Camp Corlears, we focus on classic summer fun, with plenty of outdoor play, arts and crafts, and fun with friends at the heart of our programming. Each camp group is helmed by a Head Counselor (a current or former Corlears teacher), as well as an Assistant Counselor (a current college student with an interest in elementary education), and potentially a Counselor in Training (a middle‑ or high‑school‑aged Corlears School alum). With support from Head Counselors and our Summer Camp Director, Camp Corlears offers a unique and supportive opportunity for Assistant Counselors to gain career skills, experience mentorship in a collaborative work environment, and overall have a joyful and fulfilling summer supporting young children.
