Information

Spending a summer as a member of the Walden staff isn’t just a job. It’s an experience you’re likely to carry with you for many years to come—plus, a chance to join the extended Walden family of current counselors and staff alumni. In the “off-season” we are teachers, doctors, students, business people, world travelers and artists. But what we all have in common is a desire to work with children combined with a love of the natural environment.

If you’re ready to work hard—counseling isn’t as easy as it might look—in exchange for the opportunity to have a great time, meet new people and make kids smile on a daily basis, then let us know who you are.
