Interested in being a counselor at Olympic Summer Camp? We're looking for someone who's comfortable teaching, playing, and managing a group of 16 boys or girls (ages 6-13) in a variety of individual & team sports and other camp-oriented activities.
Most importantly, we are looking for people who feel that summer camp is about more than teaching sports skills. We want people on our team who will help contribute to an environment that makes campers feel supported. Where they can learn valuable life lessons from a counselor/junior counselor who truly cares about their physical, social, and emotional well-being.
Simply put, Olympic Summer Camp is looking for the best of the best!
Candidates must have either completed their sophomore year in high school or turn 16 by June 15, 2010 to be considered for employment at OSC. If you are too young to apply for a staff position, please consider attending camp as a Junior Counselor in Training. See Frequently Asked Questions for more info on this program.
