Camp Counselor Jobs in Palo Alto, CA

A Camp Counselor in the fitness and recreation industry plays an integral role in organizing and leading various physical activities, games, and sports for camp attendees. They are responsible for ensuring the physical and emotional safety of campers, fostering an inclusive and fun environment, and developing and implementing fitness and wellness programs. They often serve as role models and leaders, promoting healthy living, teaching new fitness skills, and cultivating a positive camp culture.
