Camp Overview 

There is no better feeling than being at Kawaga. Surrounded by boundless beauty and 100 plus years of tradition, there is a sacred vibe. The day-to-day life of a Kawaga camper is action packed with competitive sports, top-notch instruction and loads of fun. But it is the people who make the lasting impacts, friendships and experiences our boys remember forever.

Kawaga’s cornerstone values of Enthusiasm, Sportsmanship, Fellowship, and Spirit are at the heart of everything we do. They spring from the Kawaga Ideal. Doc E built Kawaga not just on a breathtaking pine- and birch-forested peninsula, but on a foundation even more inspiring and permanent: a set of ideas, now known more familiarly as The Ideal. Two hundred and thirty-six words that Kawaga campers hold close to their heart and know by heart.

Camp Kawaga is on the lookout for dynamic individuals who are passionate about shaping the lives of young boys and contributing to a thriving camp community. As a counselor at Kawaga, we seek individuals who embody the spirit and values that define our camp - Enthusiasm, Sportsmanship, Fellowship, and Spirit. We're looking for role models who can instill a love for the outdoors, foster camaraderie, and create an environment where lifelong memories are made.

Our ideal counselors are enthusiastic about engaging in an action-packed summer experience, filled with competitive sports, top-notch instruction, and loads of fun. Whether you're a seasoned athlete, a creative mind, or an adventurer at heart, if you're dedicated to creating a positive impact on the lives of young boys, we want you on our team. Your role goes beyond the activities; it's about building meaningful connections, imparting life lessons, and embodying the Kawaga Ideal.

Camp Kawaga is not just a place; it's a way of life. If you're someone who thrives in a spirited and inclusive culture, values the importance of friendship, and is ready to contribute to a tradition that spans over 100 years, then you're the kind of person we're looking for. Our counselors play a crucial role in shaping the unique Kawaga experience, and we invite individuals who are ready to embrace the responsibilities that come with being part of a community that values tradition, spirit, and personal growth.
