General Camp Counselor · Summer 2027

Description

Camp Mishawaka on Lake Pokegama is hiring General Counselors for its 2027 season, which draws return staff who have averaged seven years at camp, including veteran teachers. Educators who want a traditional lakeside camp with a close staff community and a strong camper-to-staff ratio will find the role a comfortable match.

Camp Mishawaka is a century-old overnight camp on Lake Pokegama in Grand Rapids, Minnesota, serving campers ages 8-16 across two-, four-, six-, and eight-week sessions. General Counselors care for a cabin group of 4-6 campers, lead land and water activities, and assist on wilderness canoe and hiking trips, maintaining the camp's 4:1 camper-to-staff ratio. The camp explicitly notes that veteran teachers are part of its regular staff mix alongside college-aged counselors, underscoring how well the seasonal schedule and mentorship work fits educators. Compensation is based on experience and role, paid alongside a travel stipend, room, and board. Because the page reviewed did not list exact 2027 pay figures, applicants should confirm current compensation and specific role availability with Camp Mishawaka directly.
