Cabin Counselors
As a Camp Med-o-lark Counselor, you are a mentor, guide, and role model for campers, fostering a safe, inclusive, and creative environment where children can explore, grow, and connect. Counselors live in cabins with campers, assist with daily routines, and lead or support activities across the arts, athletics, and outdoor programs. You embody Med-o-lark’s mission to create a space where self-expression, independence, and community thrive — free from screens, competition, and performance pressure.

Lead activities: Teach or assist in arts, athletics, or outdoor adventure, with creativity and collaboration over competition
Build community: Create an inclusive space and help run campfires and evening programs
Live in the cabin: Guide daily routines (meals, clean-ups, reflections), keep morale up, and submit daily wellness and participation notes
Work as a team: Attend meetings and workshops, and uphold camp values of accountability, kindness, and joy
What we're looking for
18 or older (19+ preferred)
Experience working with youth (teaching, mentoring, coaching, or caregiving) preferred
Passion for youth development, the outdoors, and creativity
Strong communication and leadership skills
Ability to live onsite and commit fully for the whole season
