Our lifeguards are responsible for managing our two pools all summer. You will need to be lifeguard certified and have your CPR training by the start of the season.

This is a unique role, as lifeguards get the opportunity to see every Upper Camper all summer. They all have rotations through the pools multiple times a day, allowing the campers to get to know the lifeguards.

Lifeguards should be attentive at all times, able to work well with all ages of campers and understand the importance of their job. You must be 16 years or older to apply.

Counselors lead our campers’ daily activities. They follow the schedule while coming up with unique ways to keep the campers entertained and engaged. Activities include morning flag raising, archery, pool time, arts and crafts, ziplines, baseball, soccer and more.

A new set of campers arrive each week to start a new adventure. Along with a Jr. Counselor or two, you will be assigned a group of 12-15 kids to get to know. It is a fun, rewarding summer job. And did we mention there are no nights or weekends? You must be a high school grad or older to apply.
