Camp Counselor

Camp High Rocks sits at an elevation of 3000 feet in the midst of 1000 acres of camp-owned mountain woodland, with an 11 acre lake, and miles of hiking and biking trails. Founded in 1958, High Rocks remains dedicated to providing a caring, challenging, and noncompetitive outdoor experience for boys. Campers choose their activities and progress at their own pace. Counselors provide basic and advanced instruction in one or several of our activity areas:

•English Hunt Seat Riding

•Rock Climbing

•Mountain Biking

•Canoeing and Kayaking

•Hiking and Backpacking

•Fishing

•Pottery

•Swimming

•Sailing and Paddleboarding

•Riflery and Archery

•Crafts

•Tennis

•Soccer 

•Disc Golf

•Photographer/Videographer

•Childcare

•High Ropes Course

Responsibilities: Each counselor shares in various responsibilities: being aware of camper safety, organizing activities in camp and on trips out of camp, teaching specific skills, and supporting the campers' growth. Male counselors live in a cabin with 5-7 boys, ages 7- 16. Female counselors have other duties in place of cabin coverage. There is a lot of hard work involved, but the joy felt and the personal encouragement received from helping a child grow and mature is unmatched. We are excited for you to become a part of the High Rocks family!

Benefits: Starting from $325 to $450 per week for the season. Room, board and laundry are included. Staff lounge with WiFi. Free and discounted training including Wilderness First Aid and Lifeguarding available in late May.
