Camp is fun. It was fun when you were a camper, it is still fun when you are a counselor, and you're getting paid to do all the stuff that you loved as a camper.

For getting a job as a camp counselor, you can try your local YMCA.They may still have openings for summer counselors or assistants. Otherwise, go to your neighborhood boys and girls club. It helps to have those certifications and some do require CPR.

Although the minimum age requirement for many camp counselor jobs is 16,but if you do not meet the minimum age requirement to become a summer camp counselor, you might have the opportunity to apply for the counselor-in-training program or junior counselor positions.

As a C.I.T. (Counselor in training), you would be working but not get paid. Or even, you have to pay for your work(not all camps). It seems very unfair, the camp charges you to work there! However,it's a great way to spend the summer instead of sitting home all day, and you will be paid when you are old enough.

Of course, sometimes, the children's parents pay you Tipping. If the parents knew that you don't get paid and you have to pay to attend CIT camp , they would be happy to tip you.
