Camp Counselor

Working at Camp Champions is an experience unlike any other! You'll get to work with ~100 other people from nearly every continent on earth. Throughout the summer, these people will become your best friends. We often find that counselors feel they make more meaningful connections and friendships in the three months at camp than they do the rest of the year!
