WORK WITH AN INDUSTRY LEADER: Camp Chipinaw was founded in 1926 and then in 2004 Silver Lake was opened to offer a half summer option to our families. Both Camp Chipinaw and Silver Lake were once again named one of the top summer camps in the US. We pride ourselves on hiring exceptional staff from not only the states but all around the world. With over 400 staff members, from over 20 different countries, you will be able to set up a professional network unlike anywhere else.

EXPERIENCE YOU WILL GAIN: Unlike other internships, you will be able to gain real world experience every day in problem solving, inter & intra-personal skills, and instructing. We have a weeklong orientation to prepare you to be fully immersed into camp life for 7 weeks. When not in your specialty area you will be a bunk counselor. Each bunk will have 7-10 campers and 2-3 staff members. Your responsibilities include, getting the campers up in the morning, maintain the bunk, staying on top of their personal hygiene, eating meals with them family style, and most importantly playing camp and having fun with them every day!

QUALIFICATIONS: We are looking for individuals who are extremely skilled and passionate in one area. To be considered for a specialty area you must have prior experience teaching or coaching. If it is an area you “like” or “use to play” then it’s not going to be the right fit.
