Dear Applicant,
Thank you for your interest in a staff position. Working at summer camp can be a life changing experience. The experiences shared, the relationships made, and the self-satisfaction gained cannot be matched in any other job. It is unforgettable.



Camp Nock-A-Mixon is a private, coed, residential camp located in Eastern Pennsylvania (Bucks County), not far from New York City, Atlantic City and Philadelphia. We have approximately 450 children ages 7-16. We are looking for Unit Leaders, Cabin Counselors, and Activity Specialists to work for 8 weeks (counting orientation) beginning roughly June 22, and ending Saturday, August 16.

The Camp Counselor is responsible for the safety, health, and happiness of children that attend camp for the entire 7 week session. All staff members attend a pre-camp training orientation (conducted by experienced educators) that touches upon many topics that involve working with children. Areas discussed are leadership, accident prevention, how to plan a lesson, how to teach an activity, supervision, child abuse, being a role model, why children behave the way they do, caring, independence, self esteem, teamwork, child development, self control, discipline, health concerns, coaching techniques, homesickness, emergency procedures, etc. The work at camp is trying but the experience gained is immeasurable.

Do you know how great it feels to teach a child to swim, hit a ball...make them smile? This is a great experience at a fantastic facility! We have many testimonials from students who have worked at camp and felt they learned more in this environment than they had in any one class. We have had young teachers who felt they were much better educators after working at camp for a summer.

Many college students/counselors have also arranged internship credits. Check with your Department Heads and Professors.

"Camp is where everyday you do something meaningful, something that matters"
"Camp is where you learn about yourself. You appreciate the abilities you do have and you have the opportunity to improve the flaws you might have."
"Camp is where you learn responsibility. The kids are your responsibility. Their health and their summer is up to you."
"The best part of camp is when you get a smile from a child who never smiles at anyone."
"The best part of camp is when you get a thank you from a kid who never thanks anyone."

"...All I could do was wonder how I was going to make it through an entire summer living with 15 12-year olds. And now, I'm wondering how I'm going to make it through the next 10 months without them..."
