Summer Camp Counselor · Summer 2027

Description

The YMCA of Greater Cleveland is hiring Summer Camp Counselors to run its day camp programs across the city, explicitly welcoming education majors and teachers to apply. The role lets educators keep building classroom-transferable skills like behavior support and activity planning during the summer months.

YMCA of Greater Cleveland day camps need counselors to supervise groups of children, lead games and outdoor activities, support positive behavior, and act as role models who reflect the YMCA's core values. The Y specifically calls out education, recreation, and social work majors, along with recent high school graduates and anyone passionate about working with kids, as strong fits for this position. Counselors must be at least 18 with a high school diploma or GED and at least one year of experience working with children, and they complete required certifications within their first month on the job. This role suits teachers wanting a low-stress, daytime-only seasonal job that still uses their core classroom skills, with no evenings or weekends required. Because the page reviewed did not list specific pay or 2027 dates, applicants should confirm current compensation and schedule with the YMCA of Greater Cleveland directly.
