Summer Trails Day Camp is a traditional 8 week day camp in Westchester County, NY for children aged 3-15 years old. We are looking for General Counselors for Summer 2025! Our camp season operates from June 30th-August 21st.

Some responsibilities include getting in the water with your campers for swim, taking them to the bathroom, reapplying sunscreen and making sure campers are drinking water and being the authoritative figure while creating a fun and safe atmosphere. You will walk campers from each activity and participate with them while making sure campers are behaving for the specialist running the activity. During this time you are managing behavioral issues, keeping the group dynamic solid and creating a positive, fun and safe atmosphere.
During a typical day at Summer Trails our campers get the opportunity to swim twice a day in addition to participating in athletics, creative arts and outdoor adventure. Some other days may include vendors coming to camp and putting on shows, being wacky and silly or being involved in camp shows, theme days or special events. We take pride on creating a close knit community that is a summer home for our campers and staff.
