2022 Camp Staff Applications
Applications for all 2022 Shooting Star Adventure camp sessions, including Camp Two Roads, are now available.
This year there are even more opportunities to volunteer, intern or work with Shooting Star Adventures as a camp counselor. We have added 7 weeks of day camps to our summer schedule and are looking for camp counselors to assist in all aspects of the day camp experience. If you love working with children in an outdoor environment, we encourage you to apply. Please see our “Work at Camp” page for all qualifications and requirements.
If you participated in our Camp Two Roads counselor-in-training program in years past, this is a great way to gain further training and experience prior to fulfilling a role as a cabin counselor at C2R. In fact, many of our current counselors began their camp careers as day camp program assistants.
Day Camp Counselor
As a day camp counselor, you will be responsible for leading programming for a small group of campers. Often counselors work together in teams of 2 but you may be asked to lead activities independently. All program materials and training will be provided to you and instruction will be overseen by the program manager. Your role also includes facilitating whole camp games, songs and supervision of lunch and break times.
Our day camps are co-ed and both genders are welcome to apply. Applicants must have completed 9th grade to work at our spring break camp and 8th grade for all other summer day camps. Additionally, you must be 14 years of age or older.
All camp staff hours are 8:30-3:30 except for Mini Stars, which is 8:30-2:00. Counselors may apply for whichever weeks fit your summer schedules whether that is only one week or all seven weeks. Priority will be given to current C2R cabin counselors and/or those applicants that can commit to participating in multiple weeks of programming.

Resident Camp Cabin Counselor
As a cabin counselor at our resident camp programs your role involves a higher level of supervision than a day camp counselor. This includes teaching program, running recreation, facilitating cabin time activities (including meals, campfire, etc.), participating in campfire programming and supervision of up to 12 campers overnight in a cabin. As a result, requirements to become a cabin counselor are completed 9th grade and at least 15 prior to camp beginning.
Camp Two Roads – C2R is a camp designed specifically for girls and girl empowerment, all cabin counselors must be female. To learn more about this program please visit our camp page and our work at camp page.

At this time, we do not offer a co-ed or boys overnight programming, but we are working toward providing this type of camp in the future. We invite you to apply as a day camp counselor for now and note your interest in working at this type of camp program in the future.
