Camp Counselor at CITY OF SUMMIT – SUMMIT, New Jersey

General Camp Information

Camp will run from Monday, June 22, 2026 through Friday, August 14, 2026. Camp will be held Monday through Thursday from 8:00AM until 3:30PM and Fridays from 8:00AM until 12:30PM.

This component of our program is open to ALL municipalities in the TryCAN Collaboration for children who require accommodations for their successful participation in camp.

Your child will be placed into a group with a 1:3 ratio that will be a subsection of grade appropriate groups of our general summer camp program. This model allows for your child to have a little extra attention and receive supports they require, while also getting the full camp experience! All TryCAN camp counselors will be college students who have completed at least a year in educational studies or related fields (social work, speech language pathology, psychology, etc). Please be sure to select the Inclusion Camp option when registering. If you have any specific questions about the inclusion program, please contact dguidajr@cityofsummit.org.

• Children must be comfortable in an inclusion setting and not require constant 1:1 attention
• All children will be expected to remain in programming rooms with their groups, understanding breaks may be required. However, our camp cannot accommodate elopers.
• All children must be toilet trained.

Pay: $18.00/hour
