Athletic counselor jobs in New York, NYCreate job alerts

This is a in-person live-in position, at Camp Chateaugay, a premier co-ed sleep-away camp located in Upstate New York, in the Adirondack's. We are a camp for children ages 7-17, who is seeking a skilled and experienced Lacrosse or Soccer Counselor to be part of our Athletics / A-Field Department. (The A-Field is an umbrella term used to cover all athletic areas as there is opportunity to assist in other sports as well) This is a summer, residential position spanning from June 9th to August 13th 2025. As an A-Field counselor, you will be expected to create and execute fun and engaging lesson plans for campers to take part in. Your area director will oversee your daily practices as you lead as many as six periods a day. We have a Soccer and Lacrosse pitch and all of the necessary equipment needed. Lessons will range from drills, to practices, to improving techniques to lead up to games and matches. Cabin Duties When not teaching Soccer or Lacrosse, you will be a bunk counselor, who is responsible for an assigned bunk outside of their activity. Counselors live in the bunks with 6-12 campers and usually 1 or 2 other co-counselors. Between them, they will be in charge of cabin clean up, getting campers ready in the mornings and to each meal on time. At least one counselor should be supervising the bunk at all times, whether it be during rest hours or at night. Counselors need to be energetic and enthusiastic to motivate the campers, to bring the camp spirit to their Chateaugay experience. A cabin counselor creates a bond with her/his cabin, mentors and inspires campers, and handles minor issues that arise. A camper spends more time with their cabin counselors than with any other adult on camp, and can be most impacted by them for that reason. We want to create friendships, foster growth and independence, and make sure our campers have the best summer experience possible. Each cabin goes on at least one adventure per session - a trip and/or campout on camp or offsite. Job Type: Seasonal Pay: $2,500.00 - $3,500.00 per year Work Location: In person
