Bring your creativity to camp. Camp Lenox is hiring instructors for arts and crafts, ceramics, theater, and cooking to help campers make, perform, and create all summer, while living with a bunk of campers as a counselor.
Working at Lenox is more than a summer job. It is an opportunity to lead, grow, and be part of a spirited, down-to-earth camp community that kids and staff take real pride in. Camp Lenox is a coed sleepaway sports camp for ages 7-16 in Otis, MA, in the Berkshires, running since 1918. Think sports, waterfront, outdoors, arts, camp spirit, late-night laughs with staff friends, and the kind of summer people still talk about years later.
