What Makes This Role Life-Changing

When you join the Smile Squad, you step into a role that matters. At Camp High Hopes, our campers—children, teens, and adults with a wide range of abilities—come here to experience outdoor adventures, make new friends, and challenge themselves in ways others told them weren’t possible.

Your job? To be their biggest supporter, their guide, their hype person. Whether you’re leading a canoeing session adapted for different mobility needs or encouraging someone to conquer the giant swing for the first time, you’ll be why they feel empowered to try, succeed, and soar.

And here’s the best part—it works both ways. You’ll witness their courage and resilience, driving you to dig deeper, push your limits, and find your best self. This is how you make a difference that stays with you forever.

The Adventure and the Challenge

Being a camp counselor isn’t always easy, but that makes it so rewarding. The days are packed with excitement—from leading activities and coordinating schedules to being a constant cheerleader for your campers. It’s fast-paced, challenging, and requires you to bring your A-game every single day.

But with every challenge, you’ll gain something priceless. You’ll master leadership skills, learn to think on your feet, and get comfortable navigating unpredictable situations. More importantly, you’ll build bonds with your campers and fellow counselors long after the summer ends.

Every high-five, belly laugh, and heart-to-heart talk will remind you why you signed up. By the end of the summer, you’ll have more than just memories; you’ll have a transformed perspective, new lifelong friends, and a deeper understanding of what you can achieve.

A Culture Where You Belong

At Camp High Hopes, inclusivity isn’t just a buzzword—it’s the foundation of everything we do. Our Smile Squad represents a culture that thrives on empathy, respect, and positivity. Here, everyone matters. It doesn’t matter where you come from or your abilities—you’ll feel like you belong.

You’ll join a team that truly celebrates individuality and creates a safe, supportive space where everyone feels valued. The relationships you build here—with your campers and fellow counselors—will inspire and uplift you, making each day a little brighter.
