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.

What you'll do

  • Keep campers safe: 24-hour supervision, follow safety protocols (buddy system, escort policies), and join emergency drills and training

  • 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
