Camp Wicosuta is a traditional four-week sleepaway camp for girls in Hebron, New Hampshire that offers two sessions.
A summer at Wico will change you.
Summary:
As a camp counselor at Wico, you will live in a cabin with 6-12 campers and 2-3 adults and work at a specific activity area during the day. A camp counselor at Wicosuta is like a working parent; you go to work during the day (teaching at your activity area) and have responsibilities within your cabin “at home.”
Our philosophy is based on providing the “3 C’s”: Confidence, Competence & Community. Our goal is for every camper to walk away feeling confident in herself, and competent in her abilities in any number of areas. We teach these skills in a physically and emotionally safe community in which our campers are challenged to move past their self-set limits
Wico Staff (A Camp Wicosuta staff member) You are self-motivated. You love working with children. You are adaptable and constantly driving positive change, but more importantly, you consistently like to have fun.
Bold [adjective|not afraid of anything]. A role at Wicosuta is an opportunity to be a part of something different. To impact others for the better. A summer at Wico will change you. We’re a community that isn’t afraid to take safe risks and be ourselves. Oh yeah, we like to have fun too.
Perks [noun|the good stuff you get for working hard]. If you work at Wicosuta, you also live at Wico (so no paying rent). We will feed you three meals a day (with lots of variety and snacks). Getting dressed is easy-we provide you with 8+ Staff shirts, and your laundry is done for you (wash, dry, folded) once a week. You will work alongside people from all over the world who will become lifelong friends. That means you will have a reason to visit (and free places to stay) different parts of the world when summer is over!
Our staff will lead environmental education and survival skills programming onsite at camp as well as lead hikes and overnight trips in the White Mountains. Outdoor adventure staff must be comfortable leading overnight camping trips and hiking/backpacking trips with children. Our ropes course staff will get certified at camp and lead team building games as well as facilitate and belay on our low and high ropes course.
