Counselors
. . . the heart of our staff. Counselors "wear two hats" -- they are both bunk counselors and activity counselors. As a bunk counselor, you work with one or two co-counselors, living with your camp "family" of 8-12 boys or girls, providing support, guidance and supervision in the bunk, at meals and during all-camp activities. Each camper's bunk counselors help him/her choose activities each day for the next day. As an activity counselor, you lead activities during the activity periods (with at least one other counselor), including teaching of activity skills. Your activity assignments are based on the activities suited to your talents and interests (sports, fine arts, aquatics, performing arts, adventure, etc.). Counselors have significant responsibility at Campus Kids; they never feel like "baby sitters". There are no assistant or junior counselors. As a counselor you receive excellent support from both your division leader and activity coordinator.
Positions are available for the 2012 camp season.

Division Leaders
Division leaders support and supervise staff in their roles as bunk counselors. Each division leader works with one age division (4-7 bunk groups). They provide overall leadership for the division. They insure that the individual needs of every child are being met. They communicate with campers' parents as needed. As a team, division leaders coordinate evening programs and other all-camp activities. There are 4-6 division leaders at each of our camps; called "village coordinators" at our NY camp and "head counselors" at our NJ camp.
Positions are available for the 2012 camp season.

Activity Coordinators
Activity coordinators support and supervise the staff in their roles as activity counselors and help insure instructional continuity for campers. There is an activity coordinator for each of the following areas: aquatics (W.S.I. required), athletics, fine arts, performing arts, day trips/overnight camping, nature, adventure courses (high ropes, climbing wall, zip lines). Strong knowledge of the particular activities is required as well as knowing how to teach these activities in a supportive, non-competitive environment, and being able to support and facilitate counselors in their roles as activity leaders. Positions are available for the 2012 camp season.

Assistant Directors
The assistant director works closely with the head counselors or village coordinators to insure the smooth daily operation of the camp and to be sure that the individual needs of every camper are met. A position is available for the 2012 camp season.

Program Director
