Endless opportunities for female counselors at Sugar Bay!

Over the past few years, we’ve been noticing a significant decrease in the number of female applicants who sign up to become camp counselors. 
 
Many young ladies feel as if they cannot advance if they do not begin studying right away, and often end up disappointed after a year or two, when they realize that they stepped into the wrong career path. 
 
At Sugar Bay, we believe that high-school graduates should take time out to discover themselves if they are unsure of what career path to choose. This is why we recommend that you join the Sugar Bay family during your gap year and train to become a camp counselor.

Our Head Counselor, Chaplin wasn’t shy to share why you, as a fellow sister, should consider coming to work with us at Sugar Bay: 
 
“Being a counselor at Sugar Bay is the most rewarding thing I've ever done. I've met so many girls here who've become some of my closest and most valued friends. Working at Sugar Bay has shown me that I am capable of so much more than I thought I was and has really equaled out the playing field between boys and girls. The role of being a mentor and big sister to kids aged 7-17 has grown me as a person and has shown me what a massive impact you can have in someone's life, just by telling a story or playing a game. Honestly, if you have a passion for kids and would love to meet some eccentric, wonderful people, apply to be a girl counselor
at Sugar Bay.”

Girls, come make new friendships with us, grow in so many ways you never thought you could and join us on our journey to self-discovery!
