Being a summer camp counselor can be one of the most rewarding and fun yet demanding jobs you will undertake. It is a wonderful opportunity for you to explore your potential and gain experience as a leader, teacher and mentor.

Counselors live in cabins with the campers with bath houses located a short distance away. All counselors lead or help teach activities during the day and supervise activities at night.

We are fortunate in that most (and sometimes all) of our staff are former campers, junior counselors and counselors. Although formal summer camping experience is not required it certainly is a plus in our consideration of applicants. Salaries are based upon duties assigned and number of years of counseling experience. The average salary is $2200 for eight weeks of work.

Camp Mont Shenandoah seeks young women who are highly motivated, capable, intelligent, fun and flexible to work in an outdoor environment and be a role model for girls between the ages of seven and sixteen.
