As a Kidcam Summer Camp Counselor, you are the heart of the camper experience, serving as a role model, mentor, and leader for children ages 5–13. Counselors are responsible for supervising and engaging with their assigned camper group, ensuring safety, building connections, and fostering a positive, inclusive environment where every child feels valued and has fun.

Pre-Camp: Counselors participate in staff training to learn Kidcam’s policies, safety procedures, and activity facilitation techniques. They prepare to lead games, activities, and transitions while developing leadership skills to create a memorable camper experience.
During Camp: Counselors actively supervise their group, facilitate daily activities, encourage participation, and maintain a fun and safe environment. They are expected to engage in all aspects of camp life—from sports and swimming to arts, science, and special events—while modeling teamwork, positivity, and respect. Counselors also help with transitions, enforce rules, and assist with any camper needs, including emotional support, behavior redirection, and adapting activities for inclusivity.
Post-Camp: Counselors assist with end-of-day wrap-ups, ensure their group’s area is clean and organized, and help close camp each week by reviewing camper progress, highlighting achievements, and supporting special events or closing activities.

This position requires energy, enthusiasm, patience, and the ability to work both indoors and outdoors in varying weather conditions. Counselors play a critical role in creating the safe, fun, and unforgettable summer that defines the Kidcam experience.

Kidcam is one of the most trusted name brands in day camp operators for children ages 5-13. Creating great summers is a year-round job at Kidcam, but the need for physical operational space is seasonal. As a result, Kidcam partners with facilities looking to showcase physical resources, provide services for the community and generate incremental revenue without business disruption or the added labor and demands involved in operating their own program. Kidcam manages all aspects of summer day camp programming & operations with the exception of owned spaces. We partner with 30+ host facilities across the U.S. for our day camps in recognizable locations like state & city parks, recreation districts, universities, schools, churches and premier destinations driving a revenue stream, community service, mission-supporting program into private and public partner facilities to bring the most powerful summer day camp experiences to life for children & their families. At Kidcam Camps, summer camp isn’t just something we do, it’s all we do. And we strive to do it better than anyone else.
