Summer Camp Counselor
Lake Greeley Camp
Pocono Mountains
Lake Greeley Camp is a family-owned summer camp directed by Matt and Rose Buynak located in the Pocono Mountains. We are about two and a half hours from NYC and two hours from Philadelphia. It is a camp for children ranging in age from 6 to 16 years old and offers camp sessions from two to seven weeks in length. At the camp children participate in a vast number of activities from swimming in the lake and pool all the way to archery, horseback riding, and rock climbing. The camp also offers special activities throughout the summer including a 4th of July Picnic and Camp Olympics, as well as theme days such as Harry Potter Day, Medieval Festival, and Backwards Day.
The role as a counselor comes with many different objectives. You will be placed in a cabin with another counselor and will be responsible for your group of campers (the number of campers varies from age group, inters and seniors having more kids). You will be in charge of making sure campers are brushing their teeth, wearing clean clothing, waking up and going to sleep on time, and practicing all around good hygiene habits. You will always be responsible for making sure your cabin is tidy and clean, your campers will be responsible for helping with this task as well. You will go to all meals with your cabin and sit with them as well as participate in all evening activities with them. Evening activities can include socials, minute to win it, rat race, CSI-Greeley and so many more.
Lake Greeley Camp offers a wide variety of activities having over sixty to choose from. Just to name a few, tennis, soccer, skate park, arts and crafts, music, pottery, rock climbing, basketball, horseback, and aquatics. Each day our kids choose which activities they would like to participate in, and we run about 6 activity periods a day.
You do not need a lot of experience or high levels of skills to be placed at these activities, you just need to be willing to try and learn and have the basic knowledge to teach the kids new skills! During the day you will be put at different activities where you will teach and play with all campers of all ages and genders. You may be teaching soccer one period and then helping out at our flying trapeze the next!
Housing, food, and laundry is all provided for you by the camp. The salary is a competitive salary.
This position takes someone with a lot of energy, a passion for learning something new, and the desire to make a child's summer the best summer of their life! I promise joining the Lake Greeley Camp team will be the best decision you ever make!
