About the Counselor Position
Counselors (ages 16+) are the backbone of the camp. They ensure that campers are comfortable, cared for, and happy. During Counselor Training Week, counselors get First Aid & CPR certified and are trained on how to handle a number of camper scenarios such as homesickness, accidental bed wetting, and bullying. Additionally, they prepare for many of the camp classes and activities such as chanting, philosophy, and clubs, which they lead and/or organize. Counselors are chosen on the basis of maturity, responsibility, and ability to function well in leadership roles. If you have any questions, please contact Ashish Heda or Harshil Mehta.
