Camp Counselor

Camp Augusta has 1 and 2-week overnight sessions with 90 children (ages 8-16) onsite at a time. Counseling is our primary passion and intention at Camp Augusta. As a summer counselor, you will work closely with 5 campers, honing your epic skills in creativity, compassion, and wonder for life with the mission of fostering life-changing experiences. After 3.5 weeks of staff training, you will be equipped with oodles of tools and information about effective behavior guidance, how to live and work in a tight-knit community of 65 staff, and how to teach an incredible array of activities.
