About Camp Wicosuta
CAMP WICOSUTA!
A traditional four-week sleepaway camp for girls in New Hampshire that offers two sessions.
Our goal is for every camper to walk away feeling confident in herself, and competent in her abilities in any number of areas. We teach these skills in a physically and emotionally safe community in which our campers are challenged to move past their self-set limits.
Our counselors are the main reason campers return to Wicosuta each summer and their energy, enthusiasm, support, and teamwork creates an atmosphere in which our campers learn, grow, and achieve.

Camp Counselor
As a Wico camp counselor, you have a dual role: you live in a cabin with 6-14 campers and teach/coach in your activity area of expertise (see below for Activity Areas at Wico). The responsibilities of a counselor can be compared to the job of a “working” parent. 90% of our staff have this role. Each staff member has two distinct supervisors, the Head Counselor, who oversees all aspects of a particular age group, and the Activity Head, who oversees the activity area in which a staff member is teaching.
