  • Camp Chipinaw / Silver Lake, New York

    Camp Chipinaw / Silver Lake

    • Co-ed
    • 300 acres
    • 96-acre lake
    • 60+ activities

    One of the biggest camps we work with — Chipinaw and its sister camp Silver Lake share a whopping 300 acres with a 96-acre lake. Perfect for waterfront enthusiasts.

    Chipinaw has extensive, high-class facilities and boasts over 60 different on-site activities. It hires staff from all over the world, so you’re bound to meet new friends. The senior staff team is well-established and very experienced — they really look after their staff on site.

    Chipinaw hires for a wide range of positions, but asks that you are suitably qualified and / or experienced in your skill, and that you have at least some experience working with children.

    When I first arrived at Camp Chipinaw I heard the saying “we live 10 for 2,” which at first I didn’t quite understand. But after a summer of building memories with new friends from all over the world, growing close to my campers and learning so much about myself, I get it now. Chipinaw feels like a home away from home.

  • Camp Lindenmere, Pennsylvania

    Camp Lindenmere

    • Co-ed
    • Performing arts
    • Pocono Mountains

    Located in the beautiful Pocono Mountains, Lindenmere is a traditional co-ed camp with a wide variety of activities. Campers have complete freedom to choose what they take part in.

    They have an incredible circus and performing-arts school, high-tech IT labs and a wonderful arts centre for those with a creative imagination.

    Lindenmere tends to hire for skilled positions, so applicants must be confident teaching their skill set to others.

    Lindenmere is the definition of choice. I felt free and confident to work in the areas I was good at, and got to try lots of different activities in my downtime. I really enjoyed my summer and would definitely recommend it.

  • Frenchwoods Sports & Arts, Hancock, New York
    Hancock, New York

    Frenchwoods Sports & Arts

    • Teen-only
    • Performing arts
    • Hillside campus

    America’s top teen-only camp, set on a stunning hillside in an old-school setting. Slightly different to a standard summer camp, with outstanding high-end facilities throughout.

    Frenchwoods focuses on the creative arts — incredible circus school, rock shop, performance theatres — and the campers who attend have bags of talent. They even host their own “Campchella”.

    Frenchwoods looks for slightly older staff with good availability dates. A big personality and real passion for your skill is a must for this camp.

    My time as a summer-camp counsellor at Frenchwoods was an unforgettable experience that enriched my life in many ways. It was an opportunity to grow, learn, make new friends and make a positive impact on children’s lives.

  • Camp Schodack, Nassau, New York
    Nassau, New York

    Camp Schodack

    • Co-ed
    • Mid-sized
    • Color war

    The best way to describe Camp Schodack is like a big hug — it feels like a big family that you’ve always been a part of.

    It’s slightly smaller than some of the bigger camps we recruit for, which really gives you a chance to connect with all of the staff and campers on site.

    Schodack runs no end of activities including the famous “color war” — legendary at this camp — and is a firm Exchange Path favourite, evidenced by the staff who return year after year.

    Camp Schodack was the perfect place for me to work in an exciting environment and make a whole new group of lifelong friends from across the globe — I had an amazing summer.

    Camp Laurel South

    • Co-ed
    • Premium
    • Crescent Lake

    You’d be hard pressed to find a prettier camp than this one. Set on the stunning Crescent Lake in Maine, Laurel South is hard to beat — with beautiful cabins and a fantastic dining hall, you’ll feel a world apart from the “real world”.

    Laurel South is a traditional co-ed camp and hires skilled staff from all over the world for all disciplines. They even have remote-controlled car racing as an activity.

    Every time we visit, staff give rave reviews — including the morning we turned up to breakfast and everyone was wearing robes.

    Laurel South is really at the premium end of summer camps. The facilities are outstanding and the staff are incredibly well looked after and supported. I had an amazing summer and will definitely be returning.
