The Two Rivers Camp, hosted by Mar Addai Parish, is seeking college students or graduates who are interested in working with young people in a STEM-focused summer camp setting. Many of the applicants have backgrounds in education, recreation, psychology, science, engineering, mathematics, and related areas, and some have previous summer camp experience. However, the camp also hires many counselors without previous camping experience.

If you are looking for summer work that involves working with children in a fun, educational setting, then camp counseling at Two Rivers Camp may be an ideal job for you. In addition to being an enjoyable and rewarding experience, camp counseling is also a valuable addition to any resume. Employers and educational systems often view it as a positive experience because it demonstrates the development of important character traits.

The camp requires thorough screening, detailed resume information, and background checks, as necessary. Mar Addai Parish provides equal opportunity to all applicants, regardless of race, color, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or veteran status.

Lead By Example

At Two Rivers Camp, counselors and volunteers are expected to maintain high personal standards and set a positive example for their campers. The camp has a strict policy against tobacco, alcohol, drugs, and profanity, and these behaviors are not allowed on camp grounds.

Counselors and staff are paid based on several criteria, including their education level, previous experience, and any special certifications they may have. Most counselors can expect to earn between $300 and $500 for a two-week commitment. It is important to note that this stipend is not available for part-time or one-week commitments.

The 2024 camper season will run for two weeks, from Monday through Thursday each week. Curriculum sessions will begin on Monday, July 22 - July 25, 2024 and July 29- August 2, 2024. Staff will be required to arrive promptly at 8:15 am and check in will begin at 8:30 am. Occasionally, there may be sessions with reduced camper enrollment, and staff may be asked to take a day or more off based on the camp's needs.

Pre-camp training is essential for staff to become oriented to the camp, learn about policies and procedures, prepare to lead activities, and get to know each other to work together as a team.
