We provide a home away from home where our counselors can stretch beyond their comfort zone, grow in ways they never knew possible, and discover the joy of summer camp. Our Counselors have the unique opportunity to learn and lead their cabin group through a variety of fun-filled activities such as archery, swimming, kayaking, campfires, large group games, mealtime songs, and skits. Whether spending the night in your cabin or under the stars, Counselors foster community with their cabin group by offering support and intentional daily reflection. Every week is different at camp and our counselors provide creativity, pizzazz, and laughter to our camp community. Sierra Nevada Journeys provides counselors the opportunity to grow in group management, age-appropriate programming, and safety and supervision.

Counselors will undergo a two-week training in preparation for summer camp. The training encompasses protocols and procedures, games, bonding, and goofiness. Counselors are guided and supervised by the Program Specialist. Our staff form close, lifelong friendships that last long after summer camp is over.

When you join our team at Sierra Nevada Journeys you can expect to be part of an inclusive, innovative and equity-focused community that requires broad collaboration among staff, students and partners. We value the ability to serve students from a broad range of cultural heritages, socioeconomic backgrounds, genders, abilities and orientations.
