Group Counselor

Wheeler Summer Camp’s goal is simple and clear; we are all about giving campers an opportunity to be active in an outdoor environment, explore new things, have fun, build confidence and character, while making long-lasting friendships.

Our Summer Camp programs, for children ages 3 to 15, feature a busy day full of fun camp activities for campers grouped by age. Campers who are curious to explore have a choice of our two-week-long Specialty Camps in athletics, arts, and enrichment directed by highly qualified organizations and our wonderful Wheeler faculty. Our Specialty Camps are full-day programs that include a half-day of Specialty Camp and a half-day of Traditional Camp. Swim lessons take place each day for campers in both programs. Wheeler summer will also offer a few specialized programs this summer that are full-day programs.

Wheeler Summer Camp is seeking energetic camp counselors to join our community. In this position, counselors will lead campers through a daily schedule of activities while making sure campers stay safe and have fun at camp. Campers range in age from 3-15 year olds.
