Cabin Counselor and Activity Leader

Cabin counselors are responsible for the care and supervision of the campers in all aspects of the program.  Depending on the period of the day, they lead their cabin group, lead activity groups or areas, supervise general areas of camp, or execute special parts of the program. They build positive relationships with campers and serve as role models and authority figures. Cabin counselors are responsible for keeping the campers safe and ensuring that they make friends and have fun. Although the cabin counselors are the most important figures in the lives of their campers, and support the campers when they are struggling emotionally, they are not responsible for dealing with any situations that they are uncomfortable with.
