What qualifications does ICEP look for in a prospective camp counselor?
We are looking for young people from around the world with experience, interest, and enthusiasm for working with children and engaging in an international exchange. Counselors should be strong role models with a commitment to informal education and a desire to share their culture with American children and other counselors from around the US and the world. In addition, camps seek individuals with strong skills in the activities they instruct, such as athletics, wilderness and camping, arts and crafts, waterfront activities, drama, music, and leadership programs. All ICEP counselors must demonstrate proficiency in English at the start of the program, and must be able to arrive in New York in early June and stay until late August. Please see the complete list of qualifications for more details.
