Working at camp is more than just a summer job, it is an opportunity to grow, learn, and create lasting relationships with fellow staff. Make an impact in the lives of our campers while spending time in nature and having fun! Camp is a place where everyone is welcome, valued, and encouraged to be who they are and share their gifts. Come and be a part of it this summer!
Summer Programs
This program runs Monday – Friday for 8 weeks this summer. Staff is asked to arrive each morning before 7:30 am for camper drop off. Staff are assigned to 1 of our 3 groups each week and are responsible for following the daily schedule, paying attention to group dynamics, helping campers with conflict resolution, preparing and leading games and activities, swimming, hiking, and more! Each staff member will have a 1 hr break each day and be released for the day after all campers have been signed out and the staff meeting is complete, usually before 6 pm. Every Day/Adventure Camp counselor is expected to participate in at least 1 overnight experience, 2 nights.
This is a week-long sleep-away camp experience for adults, 18-55 years old, with disabilities. Staff arrive on Sunday afternoon to prepare for camper arrival and work together to care for our campers throughout the week. Staff help facilitate and participate in daily activities like recreational games, hikes, crafts, swimming, canoeing, bowling, talent show, dance, and more. Staff will share a room with 1-2 other staff members near camper rooms and have a shared bathroom space. Staff are expected to stay overnight, get evening free (on the property), and 1 night off a week (can leave the property). This summer we will have 5 weeks of Camp Sunrise!

Why become a camp counselor?
Are you interested in working in a helping profession? Being a camp counselor will give you experience in fields like education, healthcare, childcare, and more. If you need internship credits for the summer, let us know!
Do you love being outside? Camp Warwick is located on 460+ acres of land! Our programs spend as much time outside as possible, we have fields for sports, hiking trails, a swimming, pool, a gaga pit, and so much more. Spending time in creation is one of our favorite activities!
Are you looking for something meaningful to do this summer? Our campers love to spend time with their counselors. You get the opportunity to become a trusted adult in their life and help them grow and learn over a week or through the summer.
Do you have a skill you want to share? As a camp counselor, you have the opportunity to share your skills not only with our programs but also with our campers. Do you play an instrument or love to crochet? Lead an interest group where campers can sign up and learn your skill!
Do you want to work on a team that is positive and supportive? Starting at orientation we want to help each summer staff bond and grow together. We hope to be a place where you can have fun and find a supportive community. We also leave time for goal setting before campers arrive and a mid-summer review with our Camp Director to check in and help you grow!
In this position, I have learned to have patience and understanding and discovered my desire to teach special education!
I love working at Camp Warwick because you know you are making a difference when you see camper’s faces light up when they see you the next week or summer!
I love seeing the joy of campers who attend, the enthusiasm for every activity, and the culture of care and kindness that campers and staff get to experience.
