High Meadows Camp staff is made up of mainly college students, teachers, and other professionals. Many campers return to High Meadows as staff members after completing our Counselor-in-Training program. New staff members usually work as group counselors alongside veteran High Meadows counselors, or, depending on certification and experience, may work as instructors in a specific activity area. Starting pay for college students is $500 per week, increasing with experience and responsibility. Bonuses are paid to staff members who ride or drive buses as counselors. Discounts may be available to staff members whose children attend camp.
New staff members are expected to work the entire summer, but we may also consider applicants whose schedules only permit them to work one or two sessions.
Staff members are required to be at camp daily from 8:30 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. Some positions require occasional evening or overnight hours.
