• Make an impact: camp counselors are an integral part in the development of the next generation by inspiring campers to pursue their art with renewed enthusiasm.
• Gain leadership and youth development experience: our staff combine training and hands-on experience to build skills in the areas of communication, collaboration, critical-thinking, community-building, creativity, and more!
