CAMP STAFF LIFE

Cabin Counselor

Your most important role at Watia is leading your cabin. You’ll live in a cabin with a co-counselor and 10-12 campers. Your job is to keep campers safe and healthy, serving as a positive role model, helping campers learn and grow, and providing opportunities for them to Dream, Dare, and Discover.

Our cabins are grouped into “villages.” Each village is led by an experienced village director who supports cabin counselors and plans special village programs. Along with your village director, you’ll be surrounded by veteran cabin counselors and a leadership team (known around these parts as the "Goonies") to help with anything you need.

In addition to leading a cabin, you’ll also be a program instructor. As an instructor, you’ll work with other leaders who share your activity specialty. Leadership staff will help you draw on your own experiences, as well as teach you new skills, that will enable you to facilitate classes successfully.
