Camp Kennebec Staff love working here

Camp kennebec Staff Make our camp Great!

Thank you for taking the time to learn more about becoming a Camp Kennebec staff member.  Our counsellors tell us that the best place for you to start to understand what it’s like to be a Camp Kennebec staff member is to watch the video we made for people like you, who are thinking of working at Camp this summer.

Until you experience a summer at Camp Kennebec, it’s very hard to explain what it’s like to work here.  In many ways, working at our camp is just like being staff at other overnight camps.  You get to enjoy 9 weeks in the country, all your living expenses paid for the summer, a lake to swim in, a fun work environment and deep bonds and friendships with other Camp Kennebec staff that you wouldn’t get anywhere else.

We accept resumes year round for all Camp Kennebec staff: camp counsellors, head staff, nurses, nurse practitioners, paramedics and physicians.

Camp Kennebec is committed to employment equity and encourages all qualified candidates to apply.  If you require an accommodation, please let us know as we will work with you to meet your needs.

We’re looking forward to hearing from you!

There is no way to describe the sense of happiness and accomplishment you will feel when your campers develop the courage and confidence to sing in the talent show, make a new friend or try water-skiing. Ask any staff member and they’ll tell you how much they cherish their summers at Camp Kennebec.

And it takes a special kind of person to work with children, teens and young adults at a summer camp like ours, where campers have special needs.  Our cabin counsellors are caring, responsible and enthusiastic university and college students, teachers, or other people aged 17 or older, who have the summer free and want to work as a counsellor at our summer camp.  Not all have prior experience working with kids and teens with special needs.  What they all share is empathy, a sense of humour, patience and a strong desire to give Kennebecers the summer of their lives.

At Kennebec, you really make a difference in the lives of our campers. Camp is the place where our campers are truly happy. There is no school or social pressure. It’s the place where campers learn to be independent, experience all kinds of new activities and situations, and significantly improve their social skills. And as their Camp Kennebec staff, you are their guide to mastering these new skills.

Our staff love the whole unique Kennebec experience.  Silliness, laughter, bonds and friendships made at an overnight summer camp.  Living in the country.  Being physically active.  And most importantly, the joy that comes from celebrating campers’ achievements — and knowing the important role they played in campers’ successes.
