Wildcat Sports Camps counselors are responsible for working as part of a team to provide a fun and safe environment for campers aged 6 to 14. Counselors should be at least 16 years of age and possess a passion for sports and working with children. Counselors will be on their feet for roughly seven hours each day and are expected not only to guide the campers in the various sports and activities but to participate alongside them as well. All counselors need to be CPR/AED/First Aid certified – this can be done as part of staff training if necessary. Being a counselor for one of our Wildcat Sports Camps is a unique way to get paid to have fun all summer long.
