Training & Commitment (All Roles)
All Ohdaka staff complete a mandatory half-day, on-site training and an online handbook review before the week of camp. Optional skill workshops may be offered ahead of camp for staff who want extra practice or certifications.

Pay: All Ohdaka staff positions are paid by stipend.

Unit Counselor (Grades 10 and up)

Unit Counselors lead a group (unit) of preschool, primary, or pre-teen campers through their day at camp. You’ll guide games and activities, help with transitions and routines, and be a steady, positive role model. Sometimes it feels a bit like herding cats — that’s part of the fun.

Best for people who:
like working closely with one group of kids, enjoy building relationships, and don’t mind organized chaos.

Program Counselor (Grades 9 and up)

Program Counselors run a specific skill station at camp — such as cooking, crafts, games, nature skills, outdoor skills, or fishing. Camper units rotate to you throughout the day, and you’ll typically work with 3–4 different units daily.

You’re responsible for setting up your station, teaching the activity, supporting campers during the session, and cleaning up before the next group arrives. Program Counselor may also serve as a Program Lead for an additional stipend.

Best for people who:
love teaching hands-on skills, enjoy variety, and like working with lots of different campers each day.

Program Lead (Post-High School)

Program Leads design and plan the camp programs ahead of time. You’ll create activities, organize supplies, and support Program Counselors during the week to make sure everything runs smoothly.

Best for people who:
enjoy planning, creativity, and leadership — and like being the person who makes activities come to life.

Junior Counselor (Grades 8–10)

Junior Counselors support Unit Counselors, Program Counselors, and Program Leads by helping with activities, set-up, clean-up, and transitions. You’ll model positive behavior and be an extra set of hands during busy moments. Former Shooting Star Adventures camper experience preferred

Best for people who:
want to start building leadership skills and are interested in becoming a counselor later. This role supports a leadership progression from camper → Junior Counselor → Unit Counselor → overnight camp counselor.

Cabin Counselor (Grades 10 and up)

Cabin Counselors co-lead a cabin of 8–12 campers, support daily routines, guide morning program and recreation activities, and help build a strong cabin community. You’ll work closely with other counselors and senior staff throughout the week. Female applicants only.

Best for people who:
enjoy mentoring, teamwork, and building close connections with a group of campers.

A $50 refundable deposit is required for new counselors to hold a spot. The deposit may be refunded or used as camp store credit once camp begins. No-shows forfeit the deposit.

Senior Staff (Post-High School)

Our senior staff includes post-high school leaders who ensure the Camp Two Roads experience aligns with our mission. They oversee cabin counselors, create programming, and manage daily operations. Senior staff members often fulfill more than one role on staff.

Senior Staff roles may include:

• Camp Administration: Director, Assistant, Camp Store Manager, and Photographer
• Cabin Area Staff: Cabin Managers, Nurse, Family Liaison, CLSW
• Program Area Staff: Program Managers, Challenge Course Facilitator and Lifeguard.

Best for people who:
have prior camp or leadership experience and enjoy supporting others, planning, and problem-solving.

enjoy creativity, storytelling, design, or social media and want real experience to build a portfolio.
