Camp Counselor

Camp Counselors are the reason campers will have the time of their life at camp. Camp Counselors strive to bring the best versions of themselves to camp every single day, creating a sense of awe amongst their campers with their energy, joy, and a sense of belonging. Camp Counselors are the guiding force for our camper’s time at summer camp, and at Austin Sunshine Camps they are passionate about fulfilling our vision for each one of the kids in their cabin. In short, Camp Counselors bring the MAGIC of camp to ASC!

Under the supervision of the Program Coordinators, Camp Counselors help to implement all camp activities while supervising youth, and are crucial to our success at Austin Sunshine Camps!

Camp Counselors are key players in ensuring campers aged 8-15 have the absolute best camp experience possible. Our typical counselor-to-camper ratio is 1 counselor for every 3-4 campers, with a Counselor-in-Training (CIT) providing support in the cabin each session. The main role of our Camp Counselors, along with a co-counselor, is to be in charge of the experience, well-being, and needs of a cabin of campers, 22 hours a day, for ten days and nine nights.

The best Camp Counselors focus on building relationships with their campers, and ensure their campers feel safe, supported and empowered. They help campers resolve conflict with each other restoratively, support campers in building skills in emotional regulation, and give campers intentional freedom and choice.
