Summer Fitness Camp Counselor
Summer Fitness Camp Counselor
Who is Coach Kee's 360 Training?
Coach Kee's 360 Training is a youth health and fitness organization dedicated to developing the whole child physically, emotionally, and socially. With over 17 years of experience, we inspire, teach, and train children and families to lead healthier, more confident lives. Our mission is to empower youth through purpose-driven programs that build strength, resilience, leadership, and lifelong healthy habits. We pride ourselves on fostering an inclusive, high-energy environment where every child feels valued, supported, and capable, including campers with a wide range of learning styles, abilities, and neurodivergent profiles.
Position Overview
We are hiring Summer Fitness Camp Counselors to help lead our summer day camp for youth ages 12 and up. This is more than a fitness role. Our counselors guide campers through a full day of movement, games, arts and crafts, team-building, and field trips, creating a fun, structured, and welcoming environment for every child.
This role is ideal for someone who genuinely enjoys working with teens, is patient and adaptable with neurodivergent youth (including campers with ADHD, autism, anxiety, sensory needs, or other learning differences), and brings high energy, creativity, and care to everything they do. If you love being active, mentoring young people, and being part of a team that takes inclusion seriously, we'd love to meet you.
