Positions Available
Tipi Counselor/Activity Leader
QUALIFICATIONS
Tipi counselors live in a tipi with a group of four boys of various ages and take responsibility for the health and well being of those campers. They help campers set and meet individual goals, take an interest in campers’ daily activities and know how they spend their free time. Counselors also have written contact with their campers’ parent(s) each week during each session according to an established schedule. In addition to tipi responsibilities, counselors are expected to lead a variety of activities (see list below). You may already have many of these skills. Others are taught during Staff Week, and quite a few are learned right along with the campers during the course of the summer.
