What We Look for in You

We’re looking for team members who bring enthusiasm, heart, and purpose to everything they do. Our most successful counselors are those who care deeply about helping children flourish, and who have a blast doing it.

  • Are you energized by working with young children?

  • Do you want to build your skills in a real-life, hands-on setting?

  • Can you model kindness, patience, and positivity both on and off campus?

Why Camp W*K?

Camp W*K isn’t just a workplace; it’s a place to build memories, friendships, and futures.

Our youngest campers are full of energy, imagination, and big feelings. They need guidance, encouragement, and a counselor who understands how to meet them where they are. That’s where you come in.

Here’s what makes working at W*K a uniquely fulfilling summer experience:

A Purpose-Driven Role

Every day at camp is a chance to change a child’s life. From helping them try something new to being a steady, encouraging presence, you’ll shape experiences that last long after summer ends.

A Collaborative Community

You won’t be doing this alone. You’ll be part of a tight-knit team of counselors, specialists, and leadership staff who support each other, share ideas, and celebrate wins together.

Personal and Professional Growth

You’ll leave camp with more than memories. You’ll develop real skills in leadership, communication, early childhood development, and teamwork that will serve you well in your future career.

Real-World Teaching Experience

For those pursuing careers in early education, Camp W*K provides a powerful opportunity to apply classroom knowledge in a dynamic, hands-on environment. It’s a great addition to your résumé and an even better story to tell in future interviews.
