Don't forget to scroll to the bottom for videos about
the different specialty areas at Camp Towanda! Activity Specialists help teach groups of 20-40 campers at a time (boys and girls, ages 7-17) in their area of expertise. They are responsible for instructing different levels and abilities, from beginners to master classes with our more skilled campers and work closely with Department Heads and Program directors to plan and execute lessons. Our athletic specialists are responsible for coaching intracamp games and intercamp leagues, including county-wide tournaments with other camps. This is a great opportunity for developing professionals to get hands on coaching and teaching experience with a wide variety of ages and abilities.
When you are not instructing or coaching in your area of expertise, you will work with the group that you live with as a General Counselor. A bunk typically consists of 10-14 campers, 2-3 General Counselors and 2-3 Activity Specialists and a Junior Counselor. Each age group has generally 2-3 bunks. Our entire camp eats three meals together in a dining hall where the oldest campers serve the meals. We have weekly BBQs and enjoy creative evening activities as a camp family (game shows, campfires, plays, sports leagues, scavenger hunts and more!). A typical day starts at 8:15am and campers go to bed between 9-10pm. Counselors have a rotating schedule for time off and a day off. When you are in the cabin, you are on-duty and prepared to work. Our goal is for you to be successful. Before All-Camp Orientation, there are Department Orientations. This is time dedicated to your specific department, a chance to plan drills and activities, schedule games and tournaments, and get to know your activity co-counselors. During the summer you have the support of a Department Head, Group Leader, Assistant Group Leader, Head Counselor, Assistant Head Counselor and Owners/Director, Mitch. Job Requirements:
