What are the responsibilities and job description for the Tripper Camp Counselor position at Camp Chateaugay?
Are you an outdoor enthusiast with a passion for adventure and leadership? Camp Chateaugay is looking for a Tripper Counselor for Summer 2025 starting June 9th to August 13th with all food, accommodation and travel allowance included. As a Tripper, you'll lead exciting off-camp trips, including hiking, canoeing, camping, mountain biking, rock climbing, and white-water rafting in the stunning Adirondack State Park. You'll be responsible for:
✅ Leading and supervising outdoor excursions
✅ Packing and managing trip supplies, food, and first aid
✅ Teaching outdoor education (map reading, fire building, Leave No Trace)
✅ Ensuring camper safety and administering first aid/medications as needed
✅ Following park regulations and communicating with rangers when necessary
