Camp Wicosuta

UPDATES: Hiring for Camp Counselors for 2026!

Hiring:

As a camp counselor you have a dual role: you live in a cabin with 6-15 camper and 2-3 other staff and teach/coach in your activity area of expertise. It is comparable to a working parent. All staff will:

· develop and lead age-appropriate lesson plans and activities tailored to camper skill levels and experience.

· Collaborate with fellow staff and leadership to adapt programming based on group needs and experience.

· Outdoor Adventure: Spend your summer outdoors with Camp Wicosuta’s Outdoor Adventure program! We’re looking for energetic staff who are passionate about hiking, camping, and environmental education to lead hands-on experiences for campers. Activities include camping skills, outdoor cooking, orienteering, nature exploration around our on-site Tyler Pond, and environmental learning, as well as tent setup, fire-building, and campfire skills. Staff may also help lead off-camp hiking and overnight trips in the White Mountains.

· Challenge Course: At CampWicosuta, we’re looking for enthusiastic staff to create a fun, safe, and supportive experience on our Challenge Course. No two days look the same, you’ll lead activities like the rock wall, zip line, vertical playpen, dangling duo, pamper pole, and other high and low ropes elements. Instructors encourage campers to step outside their comfort zones while embracing a “challenge by choice” approach, where each camper sets their own pace and goals. All staff receive on-site training and certification! Prior climbers welcome but we are also willing to train staff with no prior experience.

· Pool & Waterfront: Spend your summer on the water at Camp Wicosuta! Our waterfront and pool staff lead a wide range of activities–including canoeing, kayaking, sailing, stand-up paddleboarding, waterskiing, wakeboarding, swim instruction, competitive swim and pool games. Whether you’re teaching beginners, coaching swim, or supporting campers on Newfound Lake or in our heated pool, you’ll play a key role in building confidence and creating unforgettable experiences. All staff receive on-site training and certification through the American Red Cross.
