The ESL Counselor plays a key role in creating a safe, inclusive, and engaging camp experience while supporting children in developing their English language skills. In addition to supervising campers and leading activities, the ESL Counselor integrates English learning naturally into daily camp life through games, conversations, and structured activities.
The ESL Counselor is responsible for the well-being and safety of the campers assigned to them and for ensuring they have a positive, confidence-building experience. Any questions or concerns related to camper satisfaction or progress are communicated to the assigned Section Leader.
