Let's answer some of your questions ...
Hopefully these frequently asked questions will give you a strong basis of information as you discern a position on our Camp Tekakwitha summer staff. Please reach out with any questions we haven't answered!
Who can be a counselor?
The ideal candidate will want to inspire young people, help create lifelong memories, and embrace the beauty of outdoor adventure. We provide a strong witness to our Catholic faith during each and every moment of Camp largely through the lives of our staff members.
Summer counselors are at least 17 years old (18 years old preferred) while kitchen staff members are at least 16 years old (by June 18th).
Summer counselors will receive training in VIRTUS, CPR/First Aid, and Lifeguarding upon arrival - there are no requirements for previous training in these areas.
DO counselors ever get to leave camp?
Yes! Each counselor is allotted one half-day break during a camp week along with opportunities for shorter breaks each day.
At the end of the week, staff members are 'off-duty' once all campers have been picked up on Friday evening, Camp is clean, and our closing staff meeting is complete. They are expected to be back on-site by mid-day on Sunday to begin another week!
