We have a vastly experienced team of senior staff at Birchmont, but we are always open to applications from candidates who would like to take on additional levels of responsibility and leadership at camp. These roles go beyond those of a camp counselor – typically including supervision of teams of staff or clusters of program activities. Typically, our Area Heads will be teachers or coaches in the off-season, who can bring a wealth of expertise and experience to camp. Many of our Area Heads are parents, and enroll their own children in camp for the summer – but this is by no means a requirement. We welcome applications from experienced candidates who are looking to take the next step in their camp careers.
