Camp Employment/Practicum/Internship in MA

 Hi!  My name is Cari Katz and I am the Staffing Director at Camp Taconic, a sleepaway camp in Western Massachusetts called Camp Taconic.  Our camp is looking for Coaches/Specialty Counselors for a variety of sports including baseball/softball, basketball, lacrosse, and golf for Summer 2025.  This is a great opportunity for college students who are studying Kinesiology and want to share their knowledge and love of sports with younger children ages 7-16.  Each sport/activity area is run by 2-5 coaches and is overseen and supported by an Activity Director.  Counselors will also live in a cabin with 2-3 other counselors and 8-12 campers, ages 11-15.  They eat meals with their campers and sit with them during special events.  

We provide room and board, a competitive salary, travel reimbursement, and internship credit. If you are interested in joining us this summer, please apply at https://taconic.campintouch.com/ui/forms/application/staff/App.  Please email Cari Katz at cari@camptaconic.com if you have any additional questions.

Best,

Cari Katz
