Camp Augusta

If you want to grow professionally, but also personally, this is the place to go! You'll experience magic in the woods with children -- creating experiences that I've never seen anywhere else. You will work very hard, but learn a ton too. If you love kids, I really recommend Augusta!

When I first went to Camp Augusta as a counselor at 22 years old, I had already worked at three other summer camps and traveled abroad to two other countries. I was anticipating it to be a familiar run-of-the-mill summer camp, having a good time, and then moving on with my life. Within a month of being there, I knew that this place was different. The games, the people, the activities, the opportunities for growth, the connection with nature, the mission, and the philosophies. It seemed like every day was full of challenges, but also full of so much meaning and reward. I knew that although it was the hardest job I had ever had, I had grown so much in my first summer and needed to come back. Since then, I have returned to many summers and many roles in Augusta. No two summers are the same. Each has its own challenges and growth that have been foundational for my growth at and with Augusta. Despite the hard work and long hours, I look back with gratitude at the impact that Augusta has had on my life personally and my relationships - in Augusta and outside. It's a life changing place for all who tread on those woodchips. :)

Camp Augusta is one of the best places on planet earth. Through camp, I’ve made lifelong friends around the world and learned skills that I carry with me every day. It’s hard work but the most fulfilling. They support every individual and foster a safe community with a growth mindset. Small cabin sizes allow for you to connect on a deeper level with campers. Yummy, nourishing food. A beautiful setting with waterfalls and forest in the mountains. An abundance of play and fun. You’ll never be bored here and happen upon some true magic.
