COME
JOIN THE CAMP HILLTOP FAMILY!
Parents entrust us with their most valuable
possession, their child.
We know the best way to
ensure a child's safety and happiness at camp is to
hire responsible and mature counselors, who want to
work with and nurture children.
The rewards are great! In a span of eight weeks you
will be a camper's mother, father, friend and
counselor. You will lead by example rather than mere
words. You will have the opportunity to make a
positive difference in a child's life. That in
itself is exciting! Also you will have the chance to
not only build lasting friendships with the campers,
but your friendships with other staff will be
unforgettable. Camp is all about building positive
and lasting relationships.

tipping. In the past, some Counselors have received
as much as $400.00 in gratuities (tips) from
camper’s parents. It should be noted, this is not
required from parents and is done only because of
their desire to say thank you for giving sincere
assistance to their children.
SEASON SCHEDULE
Our camp season for staff consists of one week of
orientation and 8 weeks of camp. During
orientation we get to
know each other, spend time learning more about camp
life and preparing ourselves and the grounds for the
arrival of our campers. Our camp season lasts for
eight weeks with campers staying for 2, 4, 6, or 8
week sessions. We provide a staff party at the end
of our season, which gives us time to say one final
thank you and to celebrate a job well done!

What Being a Hilltop Counselor Has Done
For Me. By Chris M. |
|
Becoming a camp counselor really opened my eyes and
made me aware that not everyone sees the world the
same way I do. Everyone at camp is unique in their
own way and being able to tie all of the differences
together is what makes Hilltop such a magical place.
During
my three summers at Hilltop I was challenged in many
different ways, whether it was on the Ropes Course,
in the cabin, working with individuals from a
different country or just challenging myself to
become the best counselor I could be. Being able to
overcome these challenges has fulfilled my
expectations of what I personally wanted to
accomplish at Hilltop. I have grown into a more
well-rounded individual. I have also gained more
confidence, self-esteem, patience, leadership and
team working skills, creativity, and knowledge of
the world around me.
Becoming
a camp counselor has changed my life significantly
and through the training I received at Hilltop I can
be confident when making decisions that affect
myself and others.
Being a
Hilltop counselor is an opportunity I would not let
pass you by. It has been incredibly valuable in
helping me grow into the person I am today.
