At Pocono Springs Camp, we staff our camp with outstanding people who are dedicated to working with children and creating an atmosphere of family, spirit, and excitement. If you have a passion for life and a desire to impact the lives of children by helping them be their best selves and to also grow as an individual yourself, Pocono Springs is the right place for you. Being a camp counselor is not only one of the most important and rewarding jobs you will ever have — it’s the hardest job that you will ever love!
Our Fishing program is incredibly popular for all our campers at Pocono Springs. We fish on our private 16 acre lake and pond! We’re looking for experienced fishermen who can teach our campers how to safely catch and release and develop their love to fishing and the outdoors. Knowledge of how to untangle & repair lines and rods is necessary.
