Job description

We are hiring enthusiastic and mature leaders to work at Camp Manitou for summer 2026.

Our camp is a terrific place to build your confidence and presence. Staff members at Manitou develop collaboration, problem-solving, and leadership skills. You will oversee a specific group of children and teach skills about a sport you love.

You'll work alongside teammates eager to collaborate to craft a memorable experience for our campers. Manitou staff members learn how to lead group discussions, practice conflict resolution, and coach kids to grow and build skills.

Manitou relationships last a lifetime! In our intentional community, you will meet people who live in locations around the world. Our campers and counselors seek to build positive relationships with empathic, caring, and trustworthy people.

Are you looking for a desk job? At Manitou, your office has no desk, no walls, and you'll rarely wear anything more than a t-shirt, shorts, and sneakers. You will spend your summer at a beautiful Maine camp on the shores of a pristine Belgrade lake.

Make a difference

Manitou's Core Values of Do The Right Thing, Make Every Day Count, Give Back and Play For the Game inspire our community members to be the best version of themselves. As a counselor, you'll be a role model to impressionable boys ages 8 to 15; they care for and respect our staff.
