A General Counselor lives with and is responsible for campers in one of
our three youngest age groups (ages 7 to 10). During daily activity periods,
the general counselor travels to activities with her campers and participates
with the campers. She also has an opportunity, based upon her personal skills,
to assist in specialty areas, where she may be working with campers in other
age groups. General Counselors should be experienced in working with younger
children.
A Specialty Counselor lives with campers in any one of our age groups. During
daily activity periods, she provides instruction under the direction of
a Specialty Head in her area of expertise. Specialty Counselors must be
experienced not only in their activity
area but must have the patience, motivation and desire to teach these
skills to campers.
Both General and Specialty Counselors live in comfortable cabins (also called
“bunks”) with the campers and are responsible first and foremost
for the health, adjustment and happiness of the girls in the bunk. All cabins
are modern facilities with fully equipped bathrooms and electricity.

A Specialty Head is an individual who directs a specific activity area.
This individual is responsible for the development and execution of a specific
activity program and curriculum. An ideal candidate would have extensive
knowledge and experience in a specific activity
area and have the patience, motivation and desire to impart her knowledge
to her staff and to her campers.
Specialty heads must be prepared to instruct girls of ages 7 to 15, and
have the ability to direct and advise college-age instructors. Specialty
Heads work closely with the Camp Directors to ensure quality programming
for all campers.
An Area Head is responsible for overseeing the campers and counselors in
a specific age group. Her daily responsibilities include direct responsibility
for the health and emotional  state
of each of her campers and staff, mediating and assisting in the conflict
resolution process, communicating with parents on a routine basis and constantly
communicating with the Camp Directors. The ideal candidate would be a mature,
responsible woman who is sensitive to the needs of the people for whom she
is responsible, is able to adhere to and reinforce the rules of our community
and has an objective approach to working out conflict situations that are
common to camp. Area Heads are usually individuals with significant experience
at Point O'Pines Camp.
