What age do most summer camps require their counselors to be?

Question

I want to be a camp counselor next year and I was wondering if I will be old enough. I will be 16 at this time next year.

Answer 1

It really depends on the camp. The camp I've worked at for 2 years requires you to be 16 and going into junior year to be on staff. One of my friends works at a camp and she's 15, but doesn't get paid. If I were you, I'd find a camp you want to work at and it'll either say on their website or you can give them a call and ask.

Being a camp counselor is one of the most amazing experiences ever and I hope you have an awesome time doing it!
