Cabin Counselor – Birch Trail Camp for Girls

Spend Your Summer Making a Lasting Impact

Birch Trail is a traditional overnight camp for girls ages 7–15, located in the Northwoods of Wisconsin. Our campers unplug from screens and reconnect with themselves, each other, and the outdoors—building confidence, independence, and lifelong friendships.

As a counselor, you’re not just leading activities—you’re helping shape a child’s summer (and often, their life).

What Camp Looks Like

Each day is filled with a wide variety of activities, including:

Canoeing Sailing Swimming Tennis Water Skiing Climbing
Land Sports Horseback Riding Arts & Crafts Dance Yoga Drama
