Camp Overview

YMCA Camp Potawotami is looking for mature, fun and creative staff for the 2022 Summer Season. Camp Counselors work with campers to increase their sense of accomplishment and belonging, while they learn about positive character traits and values.

Counselors live with fellow staff members and 10-12 campers of a similar program age, for a week-long overnight experience for campers ages 6-16.

An important part for their role is to make a positive impact on campers by leading them in a fun interactive camping experience as they participate in skill classes and cabin activities. They serve as role models, teachers, parents, nature guides, entertainers, and inspirations at camp that fosters a fun, safe and memorable experience of camp.
