Our Staff are the backbone of our programs and therefore, we pride ourselves on giving them an incredible amount of support. As a staff member, we guarantee you will feel a part of the KE Camps Team

    Our Camp Counselor positions have the potential to serve as competitively paid internships that meet your course credit needs.

To receive credit, you must complete the course, practicum or internship per your college's parameters and complete your summer employment.


    As a Camp Counselor, you will be an active participant in all camp activities and will assist your Camp Director with a variety of daily tasks, all with the goal of creating a memorable and meaningful camp experience for your campers. Our Counselors interact with our campers throughout the entire day, helping them make friends, try new things, and generally caring for their well-being.
