COUNSELOR POSITIONS AVAILABLE
Cayuga's program offers instruction in over 60 fun-filled activities every day!  Our campers are given the opportunity daily to explore a wide range of land & water sports, as well as other non-competitive programs.  (To see photos of instruction taking place at our activity sites, click here.)  Each season Camp Cayuga hires approximately 110 cabin counselors to assume instructor positions for the activities listed below.

WE ARE SEEKING MULTI-TALENTED COUNSELORS
We're seeking multi-talented counselors who are qualified to teach more than one activity.  Counselors are typically hired to instruct up to 5 different activities!  With multi-talented counselors, we always have 2 or more instructors qualified to teach the same activity.  This allows for more variety in the instructor's daily schedule.  It also provides our Program Director the ability to assign instructors to an activity where they're needed most.  In addition, hiring multi-talented counselors allows us to continue our daily program for 60 activities without any interruptions.  Keep in mind that you may not be assigned to all of the activities you were hired to instruct.  It simply depends upon the number of counselors who are qualified to instruct the same activity.

INSTRUCTOR WORKSHOPS
Some staff members have improved their ability as an instructor by attending a workshop prior to staff orientation.  Some workshops offer certifications as well.  If there's a workshop in your local area that you'd be interested in attending, let us know.  If we approve your workshop attendance prior to you enrolling in the workshop, we'll gladly reimburse you for one-half the cost of the workshop if: 1) You successfully complete the workshop and obtain certification as a result of the workshop, and 2) You successfully complete your summer employment contract from start date to end date.  Most workshops are typically sponsored by the American Red Cross.  You can contact your local American Red Cross Chapter for more details.
