A job as a CIC counselor is extraordinarily demanding and you should only consider applying for a position if you love working with children. Life at camp requires staff members to sacrifice their normal living habits and serve as role models to our campers. This job is not for everyone! Successful counselors are dynamic, energetic and patient people who thrive on being outdoors and recognize that children need support and encouragement to be responsible adults.
A job as a CIC counselor is an opportunity to have a lasting positive impact on the lives of children. You will be asked to be a leader and role model for a group of young people twenty-four hours a day. Your campers will want you to play with them, tie their shoes and talk about life. They will want you to be their friend and confidant. You will also need to be mature enough to tell a camper “no” and handle the temporary tension this creates between the two of you. These are difficult things to do and they require a person who is flexible and patient.
While role modeling for campers is the most important aspect of your job, being a counselor also provides an incredible opportunity to develop friendships with other staff. CIC is a very close knit community and there is something special about living and working with people who share your enthusiasm for working with children. Our returning counselors love orientation week where they have an opportunity to reunite with the friends they have been writing to all year. At the end of the summer you will be amazed at the friendships you have made.
We look forward to receiving your application and if you have any questions please do not hesitate to call us at (800) 696-CAMP or Email us at jobs "at" catalinaislandcamps "dot" com.
