Profile Jobs

We are looking for high school or college footbal players (salary bonus for college athletes) to share their love of the sport with our campers. 

As a flag football counselor, you will be assigned to an age division (Junior Camp: 7-10 year olds, Inter Camp: 11-12 year olds, or Senior Camp: 13-15 year olds) and spend your entire day with those boys. As a flag football counselor, you would spend about 2-4 hours of your day teaching and coaching campers in this sport. The rest of your day would be made up of supporting instruction in other sports where you can assist, spending time at the waterfront, and supervising campers during less formal activities.

General Counselors are the heart of the Brant Lake experience for our campers. Counselors have three main responsibilities:

1. Their first responsibility is to the boys in their bunk. 
2. Secondly, to the boys in their division (Juniors, Inters or Seniors). 
3. Thirdly, but still importantly, to the activity in which he or she can best be helpful to our  campers and daily program. 

While General Counselors might have special skills in a particular area, very few of our counselors will teach the same activity for more than half of their day. This helps keep counselors fresh in their areas of expertise and allows them to focus on the individual needs of their campers: spending time with them throughout the day and playing the role of “big brother” or “big sister.”
