What Does a Sports Counselor Do?
American summer camps offer a huge range of sports for campers which means there’s a big need for sports activity specialists. As a sports counselor you will spend each day of the summer helping kids to learn and develop their skills and confidence in your particular sport. You’ll be stationed in a particular area of camp and will work with different groups throughout the day. In the evenings and at mealtimes you might also share responsibilities with the general camp counselors.

Real Experiences
Don't just take our word for it - this is just a snapshot of the amazing summers our participants have had at summer camp and why they keep coming back for more.
Going to camp really pushed me out of my comfort zone and allowed me to experience new things, from being trained in how to operate a ropes course to managing a team of staff.
Camp is literally my second home! I cannot wait to be back with my campers and my camp friends. Camp is a place you can completely be yourself and make new memories that will last you a lifetime!
Not only do I love everyday camp life and ensuring the campers have the best time possible but I also love connecting with different cultures! Camp is one of the best experiences you can have.
Being away from home comforts really makes you appreciate the little things at camp. I love the weather, the lake and activities, but creating smiles and excitement for others really motivated me.
Staff started camp with a mix of experience but none of that mattered. You are well trained and everyone supports each other creating a close-knit community like no other.
At my camp we had a saying: camp people are the best people! I can say without a doubt the people I met working at summer camp are some of the best people I have ever met.

Why Be a Sports Counselor?
You get to spend the summer organising and leading coaching sessions for your favourite sport, tailored towards different age groups and abilities. Whether campers are with you for a day, a week, or the entire summer, you’ll be able to watch with pride as they grow and improve with your coaching and have so much fun in the process. As an activity specialist, you also might be eligible for a higher rate of pocket money, but this will depend on the sport, the camp, and the demand this season.
