Lake Bryn Mawr Camp is hiring for summer 2027!

Camp Bryn Mawr is one of the most prominent and well-respected all-girls summer camps in the America. We provide high-quality instruction that encourages girls to take part in the activities they enjoy while also giving them the chance to discover new things and grow as girls and young women.

More than just a place, LBMC was established over a century ago as an exclusive summer camp for girls. A camper can participate in new activities with her “summer sisters” who will support her in learning from her mistakes and celebrating her successes, and where the emphasis is on her character rather than her appearance or her accomplishments.

Why Work at Bryn Mawr?

Everyone can have fun at camp, campers and counselors alike! Our staff value the relationships they form, the opportunities they have to learn and experience new things, and the chance to take part in more than a century of Bryn Mawr tradition. There are numerous ways for staff to participate in the spirit and sense of community at camp, including living in a cabin, swimming in the lake, performing on stage, participating in staff sports, and singing around the campfire. 

At Bryn Mawr, the best leaders are perpetual learners. You will get the chance to receive training from some of the brightest minds in youth development as a member of our staff. Additionally, you will have the assistance of seasoned mentors who want to see you succeed and make the most of your time at camp this summer.

Employers in all industries are seeking candidates with “soft skills” like communication, collaboration and teamwork, adaptability, empathy, and leadership that aren’t typically covered in college courses.

You may develop these skills by working at camp, which will make you stand out from the competition and succeed in any field you choose.

Working at camp means living in a community! We’ll take care of your lodging, meals, and transportation while you’re at camp (and necessities like laundry and linens).

We value our staff and show our appreciation to staff in many different ways:

• competitive salary
• referral bonuses, raffles, special activities
• assistance with job-specific requirements such as Pennsylvania nursing licensure and lifeguard certification
• supporting internship requirements or writing letters of recommendation

Camp Weequahic is hiring for summer 2027!

Thank you for your interest in working at Camp Weequahic. A summer job here is more than a job. It is an adventure, a leadership opportunity, and a chance to become part of a close-knit camp community.

Each day brings something new. You will build friendships with fellow counselors, lead fun activities, and help campers grow through meaningful summer experiences. Along the way, you will gain confidence, build real leadership skills, and create memories that last long after camp ends.

Make an Impact Through Gratitude, Attitude, and Courage

At Weequahic, our mission is to create an amazing experience for everyone we meet through gratitude, attitude, and courage. That starts with hiring staff who are skilled, responsible, enthusiastic, and ready to put campers first.

Working at a sleepaway camp is often called the toughest job you’ll ever love. It takes energy, patience, flexibility, and a positive attitude. However, if you arrive ready to lead, care, and contribute, you can have one of the most rewarding summers of your life.

What Camp Counselors Do

Camp Weequahic counselors have a dual role. You live in cabins with campers and also teach or coach in one or more activity areas during the day. These areas may include athletics, aquatics, adventure, arts, STEM, outdoor living, and more.

While we look for strong teaching skills in at least one area, you may also support other programs throughout the summer. You will not be doing it alone. Program Heads train staff to lead engaging activities, while Division Heads guide counselors in creating a safe, fun, and welcoming cabin experience.

In addition, the leadership team is onsite throughout the summer to provide supervision, feedback, and support. At Camp Weequahic, you will work hard, learn quickly, and make a meaningful difference in the lives of campers.
