Cabin Counselor

Geneva Glen Camp

A Colorado summer is the perfect time to work and play hard!

The Goal of Geneva Glen Camp is to provide experiences for children and youth that promote the discovery of one's own dignity and worth; develop empathetic, culturally competent campers who welcome and respect all individuals, regardless of what they look like, how they identify, where they come from, their socioeconomic status, their faith and who they love.; stimulate a love for and care of the natural world; develop commitments to enduring values; train youth as creative school and community leaders; and to empowering participators to live at their highest level and to enrich their home communities through what they have learned at Geneva Glen.

Geneva Glen is in the foothills of Denver, at an altitude of 7,000 feet. The camp, located on 500 acres of beautifully wooded mountain terrain, is in the mountains but has convenient access to the city. The climate is ideal: warm and dry days, cool nights, clear blue skies nearly all of the time, with afternoon showers (often followed by double rainbows). Staff members sleep in cabins and dorms in bunk beds. There are good bathroom and shower facilities.
