Description

Fiver is seeking camp counselors for our unique, overnight sleepaway summer camp that serves 450 children ages 8 to 18 from systemically under-resourced communities in New York. Counselors are responsible for providing supervision, guidance, support and leadership to a group of campers in their cabin. As the camper’s primary caregiver during their two-week stay, counselors must be attentive to the camper’s physical, emotional and social needs. Through our character development program, Fiver teaches campers to be a Friend, an Individual, a Valuable Team Player, an Environmentalist and a Risk Taker. We are looking for outstanding role models to inspire and mentor our children! 

Counselors should possess skills in a specific program area (e.g. art, dance, sports, waterfront activities, computers, etc) and be comfortable teaching/assisting in these subject matters during daily activity slots. Counselors work together as a dynamic team; counselors should be fun-loving, kid-friendly, open-minded, patient, flexible, willing to learn, mature and compassionate! 

Requirements

• At least one year post high school by June 2026
