Berkshire Trails is looking for coaches and athletes who want to spend the summer teaching a sport they know well while also serving as a cabin counselor.
Current specialty areas include:
- Tennis

This is a dual-role position. You’ll live with a cabin group and take part in the full counselor experience, while also spending activity periods coaching and instructing campers in your primary sport.
Responsibilities
- Live with and supervise a cabin group
- Help campers navigate the daily camp routine and build a positive cabin community
- Teach fundamentals, drills, skills, and game play in your specialty sport
- Plan engaging practices and activities for different ages and skill levels

- Help maintain athletic equipment and program areas
- Participate in camp-wide activities, special events, and evening programs
What we’re looking for
Strong candidates should have experience playing, coaching, or teaching at least one of the listed sports and be comfortable leading groups of children.
You do not need to be a professional coach, but you should know your sport well enough to demonstrate skills, explain fundamentals, and help campers improve.
