Type: Traditional Girls Camps
Staff: Female Staff needed
Camp Fernwood is located in Poland, Maine and is approximately
45 minutes northwest of Portland and about 2 1/2 hours
from Boston. Camp Fernwood offers a natural rustic
setting away from city life and is
close to many New England attractions such as the
White Mountains, Maine State Parks, and the beautiful
coastline. All of these places can be reached easily
on a day off.
Fernwood
is steeped in over 85 years of tradition. Our spirit
is everywhere - in what we do and how we do it. Our
beautiful setting still has the same look and feel
as in 1921, but what we do has become more sophisticated
in response to the needs of today's girls.

Staff
Camp
Fernwood staff come from many different backgrounds,
cultures, and countries. Each counselor is a unique
individual who adds something to the Fernwood community.
Being a counselor at Fernwood is about giving of yourself
and letting others give to you. The more you put into
it, the more you get out of it.
At
Fernwood, you will form friendships with campers and
counselors that will last a lifetime. You will grow
and realize how important relationships within a community
are, and you will have fun, you will laugh, and you
will be brought back to your childhood days. Being
a Fernwood staff member is one of the most rewarding
experiences you will ever have.
Jobs
Counselors
teach one activity during the day (e.g. water-skiing).
Some staff will teach more than one activity each
day (e.g. Dance and Aerobics). All staff are involved
with planning evening activities, either as participants
or leaders.
On
our weekly trip day out of camp, all campers and staff
are divided into small groups to go biking, hiking,
on cookouts, canoeing, and other enjoyable outdoor
and nature based trips in the Maine and New Hampshire
area.

"I
am sure that when I get home and have a little time
to sit alone, or when I am challenged by new stresses,
I will remember the confidence that this place has
instilled in me. .... I am just in awe for the moment."
