Wayfarer counselors have a profound impact on each and every camper and staff member present. We hire only those individuals who are selfless and devoted to making a difference in a camper’s life. As positive role models, Wayfarer counselors learn quickly that this camp community is truly special.
At Wayfarer, cabin and activity counselors are one in the same. These individuals are the camp’s most direct link to campers and parents. Cabin counselors are the leaders in each cabin. They are responsible for the safety and happiness of each camper in the cabin.
Cabin counselors also teach in program areas. In this way, they get to know all campers and see them in a variety of settings. They provide direction and energy in all activities.
CITs
Counselors-in-training are support staff that work in teams. These individuals help in all areas of camp including cabin areas, programs, and facilities. CIT’s have completed the 11th grade and are never expected to lead activities or be primary supervisors. CIT’s are actively training to take on the role of counselor once a rising college freshmen.

The ideal session for younger, first-time campers! This one-week session falls at the beginning of both July Camp sessions. This overlap can be helpful for families in which older siblings desire a longer session. During this “starter” camp, children go to 5 activity periods specific to their age group. Campers may attend Adventure Camp for one year only, as they get a feel for life at camp without the longer stay.

As a 5-week camp session, this is for those searching for a deep-dive into the camp experience. Campers are immersed in the traditions, activities, and friendships that define who we are as a camp. You will get to enjoy plenty of out-of-camp excursions, participate in some of our most special events, and spend five excitement-filled weeks of your summer building friendships to last a lifetime. Main Camp is for the avid camper who yearns for more time at camp.
This session is ideal for older, first-time campers or younger campers who want an experience longer than the one-week Adventure Camp. We love our June Camp as it is our season opener. These two weeks are always filled with a robust excitement that radiates throughout the session. Be the first one on the blob!
July Camp offers a full summer camp experience. At three weeks, campers are able to fully focus on skill development in their activities, experience a number of exhilarating out-of-camp trips, and forge amazing friendships through challenge and community!
July Camp 2 is a great way to enjoy camp life in a two week time frame, all the while experiencing the energy and excitement through its overlap of Main Camp.
This session is packed full of skills development, out-of-camp trips, and special evening programs. We can’t forget to mention our very special Christmas in July tradition! July Camp is for the avid camper who yearns for more time at camp, but may not be ready for the Main Camp 5-week stay. Life-long friendships and advanced skill levels seem to always be front and center.
