Job Overview

Acting as a SAP Counselor is an immersive learning opportunity for any college student. While many of our camp staff are pre-service educators, this is not a requirement. Any college student interested in working with students should apply. Through a counselor position, you are able to form deep connections with students and other counselors and create memories that will last a lifetime. Summer programming can be an incredibly impactful aspect of a student's life, and we are looking for counselors who take that influence seriously.

Your on-site responsibilities throughout the program will vary. Overall, counselors are responsible for ensuring students are punctual, assisting in rehearsals, and supervising during meals and free time, including in the dorm before lights out.
