Summer Camp Staff

Kennolyn is looking for summer staff!

We work and play hard.

At Kennolyn a counselor or staff member is a well-rounded individual who can deal with anything they are given that day. We train our staff to become lifeguards and archery instructors etc. but what we look for everyday is that person who really knows how to connect with others.
