Contact us for more information.
The salary for a counselor averages about $2000
for the summer, although this can vary significantly depending on
the length of the camp, the training or certification required for
the position and the experience of the candidate. A bonus is paid
to counselors and specialists who return with WhizResources.
What expenses will I have?
Other than personal expenses, everything
is provided, including meals, lodging, air transportation, camp activities
and some side trips (depending on the camp).
How am I paid?
The pay periods vary based on the particular camp.
Some camps help you set up automatic deposits to bank accounts and
others offer check cashing at the camp. This is something you will
discuss with the camp.
How do I apply?
You begin by completing an application with us.
We will contact you for an interview (or telephone interview). If
we see a fit with the jobs we are placing, your name and application
may be provided to a camp. The camp will contact you and if you are
offered a job, additional information may be required.
What personal information will be required?
A background check will
be performed and fingerprint check may be required when you arrive.
All information needed to perform the background check and to make an informed employment decision will be required. In addition, the camp may conduct drug, alcohol and other testing.
What will I do as a counselor?
The objective is to provide a great
camp experience for the campers within the overall goals of the camp.
The counselors
spend much of their time leading and participating in camp activities
with the campers. Depending on the camp, the activities may include
swimming, canoeing, sports and games, skits, art, challenge course
elements, special events and “traditions”, etc.
What are the dates of the camps?
Generally the camps run from the
first of June until the last of August. Some camps begin mid or late
June and end late August. Others begin the first of June and end
the first week of August.
What if I want to sight-see after the
camp?
We can arrange your
transportation to return home at any time after camp. However, once
we make the reservation we cannot change the return date. If you
decide to stay later, you may be required to pay penalties for changing
your return date.
