Camp Chateaugay, a summer camp in the stunning Adirondack Mountains, is seeking passionate and skilled Swim Counselors to join our Aquatics Team for Summer 2025!
As a Swim Counselor, you will be a lifeguard and help campers of all ages develop their swimming skills, build confidence in the water, and create unforgettable summer memories. You’ll teach swim lessons, supervise free swims, and ensure a safe, fun, and supportive environment at our beautiful waterfront. You will be part of a swim staff team of 4 plus a swim director, have a strong swimming background and be able to pass a lifeguard and CPR/First Aid certification, included when you arrive at Camp. Salary includes all lodging, meals and allowance for transportation and wage will be between dependent on experience between $2300 - $3000. If you’re ready for an unforgettable summer filled with adventure, friendship, and professional growth.
Cabin Duties When not teaching Lacrosse, you will be a bunk counselor, who is responsible for an assigned bunk outside of their activity. Counselors live in the bunks with 6-12 campers and usually 1 or 2 other co-counselors. Between them, they will be in charge of cabin clean up, getting campers ready in the mornings and to each meal on time. At least one counselor should be supervising the bunk at all times, whether it be during rest hours or at night. Counselors need to be energetic and enthusiastic to motivate the campers, to bring the camp spirit to their Chateaugay experience. A cabin counselor creates a bond with her/his cabin, mentors and inspires campers, and handles minor issues that arise. A camper spends more time with their cabin counselors than with any other adult on camp, and can be most impacted by them for that reason. We want to create friendships, foster growth and independence, and make sure our campers have the best summer experience possible. Each cabin goes on at least one adventure per session - a trip and/or campout on camp or offsite.
