Tom Sawyer Camps is no longer hiring for summer 2010. For other summer camp jobs, please check out www.daycampjobs.com or www.waic.org. Thanks for your interest.

Junior Counselor is a volunteer position. All of our Junior Counselors receive training that prepares them for possible future paid positions at Tom Sawyer Camps.

Former staff members say that their volunteer summer camp experience was very helpful when applying to colleges. Many Junior Counselors use their volunteer experience at camp to fulfill any school-required community service hours. Junior Counselors need to have completed 9th or 10th grade.

There are Junior Counselor positions available in the following camps:

PRE-CAMP for ages 3 to 5 (through kindergarten)
DAY CAMP for ages 6 to 10 (through 5th grade)

Positions are available for group junior counselors, swim junior counselors, and horseback riding junior counselors!

Junior Counselors must commit to working one full session. Sessions range from four weeks to six weeks long.
