Activities
BUNAC has been sending participants to summer camps to teach sports and other activities
for many years and camps have come to expect enthusiastic, qualified and reliable
counsellors from BUNAC.
As a camp counsellor, you will likely have two main responsibilities at camp: as
a cabin, or general counsellor and as an assistant, instructor or leader in a specific
activity. The activities and sports which Summer Camp USA participants are hired
to teach at camps vary greatly. Applicants who have relevant qualifications or experience
teaching in any of the following activities, especially the high demand activities,
stand a good chance of placement for the summer.
