and the job listing Expires on February 8, 2026

Location: Camps Kenwood and Evergreen (K&E) in Wilmot, NH

Dates: June 11 – August 8, 2026

Starting Salary: $5000 + $150 travel allowance

We are so excited you found this opportunity at Camps K&E! We believe it’s never too late to go to sleep‑away camp, and that there’s no job more fun or fulfilling than caring for and mentoring kids in a beautiful, natural setting. At K&E, you’ll spend your days outside leading, laughing, creating, and being part of a supportive community you won’t experience anywhere else.

Camp is hard work: high‑energy, long hours, but deeply rewarding. We’re looking for people who like a challenge and are passionate about making a difference. We truly believe this isn’t just a summer job. It’s a chance to grow, unplug, make lifelong friends, and develop durable, real‑world skills. We can’t wait to meet you!

What You’ll Do

• Take charge of The Studio, our new arts and crafts space, creating an organized, fun, and engaging environment for campers of all ages and abilities
• Design, plan, and run daily programming during Studio Blocks, including drawing, painting, print making, sculpture, architecture, fiber arts, tie‑dye, and more!
• Develop and maintain an organized system for 60+ campers checking into and out of various stations, ensuring smooth transitions and minimal confusion
• Support the Ceramics, Wood Shop, Cooking, and Visual Arts Specialists in program design, implementation, and collaboration
• Provide clear instructions and support to counselors, helping them understand how to assist campers and manage different activities
• Give campers every opportunity to explore, experiment, return to ongoing projects, collaborate with peers, or work independently
• Maintain and inspect the Studio space, program, equipment, and supplies, and report needs or concerns to the Program Director
• Maintain a quiet, calming area in the Studio for campers who need a chaos break

Bonus

We love getting our staff certified in lifeguarding and high ropes (mostly belaying from the ground). If you’re interested, we can train you at camp for free – you’d just arrive at staff training a few days earlier. Additionally, if you’d rather get lifeguard certified at your local pool, we can cover the cost of the course!

About K&E

We are a traditional, long‑session brother‑sister overnight camp situated beside the gorgeous Eagle Pond. We’re two hours from Boston, but our campers (ages 7‑15) and staff come from all over the world. Campers and staff also embark on trips to local attractions, mountains, and beaches throughout the summer.
