Sport Management Intern / Camp Counselor

We welcome you to the ultimate summer internship and job experience! Camp Lokanda is excited to offer this immersive Sport Management Internship as part of our Summer Camp Counselor position. You will be coaching teams and leading instructional activity periods for our campers, working with people from around the world and getting to fully enjoy our beautiful outdoor facilities. Join our camp family for an unforgettable summer that will help you build essential life skills.

Camp Lokanda is a premier co-ed sleep-away camp located in the amazing Catskill Mountains in Upstate New York (approximately 2 hours from New York City).  We have been around since 1937 and have approximately 400 campers ranging from ages 7 to 16. To look after so many campers, we invite 250 staff to join us from all over the world.

Lokanda prides itself on being a safe, fun environment for everyone to grow and develop. As you take good care of our campers, we in turn take good care of you. We provide a good salary as well as housing, laundry and food for the summer.

Goals:

• Build upon the knowledge of your sport and strengthen your coaching skills.
• Experience the impact camp has on youth development.
• Understand the responsibility, importance and impact of the camp counselor role.
• Strengthen teamwork and communication skills as a member of our large international staff.
• Get connected with professionals in the field through our global network.

We are looking for experienced, enthusiastic and diligent instructors/ counselors this summer. If you play the sport in school, this is a great way to stay engaged and share your passion with our campers. 

Daily Responsibilities:

Working at camp is not your typical job/internship. You are living and working at the same place in a community lifestyle for 8 weeks. Your primary role will be working with the campers as a counselor, living in a bunk with campers and other co-counselors. A counselor is always directly responsible for the safety of the campers they are supervising. You report directly to the Campus Leaders and together supervise the campers’ daily schedule and general life at camp.
