Profile Jobs

Camp Kabeyun, an overnight camp for boys ages 8-15, located in Alton Bay, New Hampshire (directly on the shores of Lake Winnipesaukee) is seeking counselors to lead out-of-camp trips for the summer of 2024, and join us in celebrating our 100th year of operation!  

Employment Dates and Compensation: June 15th - August 17th, 2024, with a starting salary for first-year staff of $3,250 (Certification bonuses also available); housing and meals are included. 

Since 1924, Kabeyun has endeavored to provide a unique and supportive environment for our campers to explore new and challenging experiences, develop new skills, and discover their individual capacity to accomplish whatever they set their mind to. While Kabeyun’s camper population is all boys, we hire counselors and staff regardless of their gender identity. We believe a diverse and varied team of staff and counselors helps us have a greater impact on our campers, and helps us promote a culture of acceptance and inclusion. 

We are currently hiring for openings in our Trips Department, which involves leading out-of-camp adventures in: Hiking, Backpacking, Rock Climbing, and Flatwater and Whitewater Canoeing and Kayaking. Trips range from one day to overnights, with some multi-night extended outings as well.    

In addition to leading these trips, all Kabeyun’s counselors also assume responsibility for co-supervising (along with at least two other staff members) a cabin of between 6-10 campers throughout the summer. Counselors work six days a week, with one full day off per week.
