Spend your summer on the lake!

Nothing is better than a summer on the lake! 

Camp Somerset is hiring for both Lifeguard/Swim Counselors and Lifeguard/Boats Staff. Aquatics staff arrive early (June 5th) for Lifeguard training, followed by either swim or boat driver training. Boat drivers must be 21 years of age or older.

All staff are also cabin counselors who live in a cabin with a particular age group. Counselors are expected to be role models who must be fun-loving, creative, patient, and genuinely concerned for the welfare and development of the campers.

Counselors will work with 3 other counselors in their cabin and receive 5 days off during the summer.

All Somerset counselors must be at least 19 years old or have completed one year of college or postsecondary coursework. A friendly disposition, good attitude, and desire to work with children and help them grow their skills and self-confidence are a must!

We believe that summer camp should be the most special time of year for children, and it is our responsibility to make sure that every young girl feels empowered, encouraged, and inspired to be her very best self.

Counselors receive a salary, a travel stipend, and room and board.

Dates: June 5th to August 11th, 2026

Camp Somerset is located in Smithfield, Maine. We are three hours from Boston and 75 minutes from Portland, Maine. Waterville, Maine, is only 10 minutes from camp and has many stores, restaurants, and recreational options.
