Counselors are the center of magic for our camp! As a part of SRV Camp, you will be responsible for creating and leading activities that engage and entertain children and creating a sense of community within the camp overall.
Summer camp runs for 9 weeks, starting June 16th through August 15th, and regular camp hours are 8:20am to 3:15pm with staggered pick up until 3:45pm. The staffs’ hours are 8 to 3:45 daily with a mandatory weekly staff meeting every Wednesday. There is also Extended Care available for children as early as 7:45am going as late a 6pm, which provides an opportunity for staff members to work extended hours.
We’d love for our counselors to be with us all summer, but we understand that everyone’s schedule is different. That said, we do ask for a minimum commitment of seven weeks. Before camp begins, there is mandatory training for all counselors, and we also require State Police, Criminal Background, and fingerprint clearances. Don’t worry— we’re here to help guide you through the process and make it as easy as possible!
Positions and Availability: We have a variety of ages and specialties as well as general counselor positions to apply for. We hire qualified people ranging in age from 16 to 50+. Specialty positions include nature, dance, drama, art, sports, music, archery, and swimming. Availability of positions varies from year to year depending upon enrollment and which former staff members return (usually about 90% return!).
