Working at Nashoba Day

At Nashoba our staff have the opportunity of a lifetime to work out of doors with a fantastic group of children and co-counselors for eight weeks. Lasting friendships between campers and staff are created that carry on for decades. Our counselors reside in the surrounding towns, yet go to school all across the country and many study abroad at a wide variety universities. Approximately 90%of the staff return from year to year and many have been at camp for over ten summers. We have high expectations for the staff at Nashoba and insist that they be excellent role models, enthusiastic, outgoing, caring, compassionate, love to be with children, communicate easily, and have the ability to provide expert instruction in at least one activity area.

I cannot imagine a better way for my daughter to spend her summer vacation. We love your camp and everything about it. The counselors you have chosen are outstanding….The swimming and canoeing counselors really helped my daughter to excel this year. She went on to Level 6 in swim and also got her Bowsman for canoe. My husband and I feel that your camp is very safety conscious and that makes us feel great.
