Studies by the American Camping Association show that day camp campers display improved ability to make and maintain friendships, increased confidence to try new activities, and greater skill development in the areas they are working hard in. At Camp Shai we place an emphasis on the universal values of kindness (chesed), respect (kavod), community (kehillah), and good sportsmanship & attitude (ruach).
We are seeking individuals for the General Counselor role that are adaptable, goal‑oriented, and excited to work in a fast‑paced, fun environment where everyone is welcome. General Counselors are excited to gain experience in childcare and are passionate about creating a positive experience for all campers.
