Summer Internship: Outdoor Recreation & Education
Camp Wicosuta is a traditional four-week sleepaway camp for girls in Hebron, New Hampshire that offers two sessions. Located on Newfound Lake, working at Wico is a perfect job for someone who loves working with kids and wants to spend their summer outside!
Our philosophy is based on providing the "3 C's": Confidence, Competence & Community. Our goal is for every camper to walk away feeling confident in herself, and competent in her abilities in any number of areas. We teach these skills in a physically and emotionally safe community in which our campers are challenged to move past their self-set limits.
As a camp counselor at Wico, you will live in a cabin with 6-12 campers and instruct in the activity area of your expertise. The “Extreme” staff consists of two separate staff groups: Challenge Course and Outdoor Adventure.
For the Challenge Course staff, we are seeking instructors with a comprehensive background in climbing or those who have an interest in team building and working on a ropes course. Our challenge course features: a rock wall, zip line, vertical playpen, dangling duo, pamper pole, and several other high and low ropes elements.
For the Outdoor Adventure staff, we are seeking instructors with a comprehensive background in hiking, camping, and environmental education to help run our Outdoor Adventure program. Our outdoor program focuses on camping, outdoor cooking, environmental education, orienteering, and off-camp hiking and overnight tripping.
Must be available: June 13-August 19, 2019
Stipend includes: Salary, Travel Allowance, and Room and Board.
Enjoy your time off: Staff Lounge with wifi & tv, days off options to Boston, Burlington, Hanover & Maine
