It takes character, compassion, and fun to be a dynamite camp counselor, and that’s exactly what we look for in our staff. We select spiritually grounded, creative, caring, inspiring individuals who have a passion for working with children.
Do you want to have an unforgettable summer, inspiring and being inspired? When we say goodbye at the end of the season, staff members tell us "this has been the best summer of my life!" Our counselors are the heart of Quinipet, and we’re looking for strong staff members who can make an extraordinary impact in the lives of children.
Quinipet offers both a day and an overnight camp for boys and girls ages 5-17. Most staff members live in cabins with campers and also teach a program activity. Quinipet staff have two hours off daily and a day and an evening off weekly, perfect for enjoying our spectacular beachfront location. We provide laundry facilities, a staff retreat with wifi and fridge, and van shuttles around the island.
