Summer Day Camp Counselor - Intern

Overview

KE Camps is the leading provider of summer camps for country clubs nationwide. We partner with over 230 private clubs to implement traditional-style day camps for elementary‑aged children. Our Staff are the backbone of our programs and therefore we pride ourselves on giving them an incredible amount of support. As a staff member, you will feel a part of the KE Camps Team!

Our Camp Counselor positions have the potential to serve as competitively paid internships that meet your course credit needs.

As an Intern, you will be expected to fulfill your regular daily job responsibilities and complete your internship responsibilities so that they do not interfere with your work obligations. Contact your college advisor in advance and ask if you can use your summer camp job as a practicum, internship, or for other course credits. If KE Camps can meet your internship requirements, your on‑site Camp Director will be your field supervisor and oversee your coursework.

You will also be connected to a KE Camps contact at our HQ in Skillman, NJ. To receive credit, you must complete the course, practicum or internship per your college's parameters and complete your summer employment.
