General Counselor/Lifeguards/Swim Instructors
Join us for the summer of lifetime!
Timber Lake West is a traditional, 2-session co-ed camp for campers ranging in age from 7-16. Set on a magnificent 420 - acre campus just two hours northwest of New York City, Timber Lake West features its own private lake, a heated pools, unsurpassed athletic facilities, state of the art go-kart track, and championship tennis courts.
But more important than any facility on our campus are the nurturing counselors, unsurpassed spirit and years of tradition that make Timber Lake West Camp a second home for our campers and counselors.
As a specialty counselor, you will also live in the bunk with the campers and have general bunk responsibilities, while also spending six hours each day working in your specialty area - Lifeguards/Swim Instructors. It is important to understand that every staff member is first and foremost a general counselor, and serves as a role model for his or her campers. However, once the daily activities begin each morning, specialists report to their area of specialty. The head specialist will provide guidance and training to ensure each specialist performs to the best of his/her ability. Applicants must demonstrate a strong aptitude in their specialty area and must have relevant experience teaching/coaching children.
