Work as a camp counselor this summer in beautiful Maine! Friends Camp, a
small overnight Quaker summer camp in South China, Maine, is currently
hiring for this summer! The camp is directed by a Williams alum, Anna
Hopkins Buller and has had a wonderful handful of Williams staff members
over the years, including Joanie Cha ,WOC board member.. A summer spent as
a camp counselor leads to better life and work experience than almost any
internship. They pay $315/ week for first-year staff, plus travel stipends
for those who need it and additional pay for lifeguards. Check out their
instagram <https://www.instagram.com/friendscamp/> or website
<https://www.friendscamp.org/> for questions.
