A Superior Counseling Staff
Skylemar is well known for a superior counseling and support staff. We believe that our intense off-season search of the finest compilation of people to lead and direct an exciting program is what makes us shine in the camping industry.

Parents frequently ask where we find a collection of such of enthusiastic, moral, friendly, talented and fun counselors. Directors Arleen and Shep attribute Skylemar’s success in imprinting itself in the lives of so many, to the high quality of staff members.
A Skylemar counselor lives with a group of 5-7 boys and another counselor. In addition to providing instructional leadership in one or more activities throughout the day, a counselor serves as “big brother”, friend, role model, advisor and “hero”.
A summer-long in-service training program follows a carefully planned pre-camp orientation. Staff meetings are conducted regularly. CLICK HERE FOR STAFF APPLICATION.
While most staff members are specialists in one or more activities, all staff members are chosen on the basis of our understanding that they enjoy a wholesome, sincere interest in working with young people. Applicants must have completed at least one year of college.
We are obviously very cautious about the type of person to whom we entrust the campers. Counselor applicants must provide five objective references for us to contact, such as teachers, coaches, professors, guidance counselors and those who have observed the applicant working with children.
Many find that being a counselor at Skylemar is not only a great way to spend the summer, but perhaps the best job they’ll ever have. Long after their counseling days have surrendered to a variety of careers, former counselors and campers, often revisit Skylemar to recapture happy memories of days that remain an important part of their lives.
If being the positive influence that a boy will remember the rest of his life appeals to you, please apply. Once we receive your online application, we will contact you directly.
