What is the average salary earned by a camp counselor?

A 2010 study found that camp counselors made between $235 and $306 per week. However, counselors can expect to receive a pay increase of about four percent each year that they work at the same camp.

Camp counselors generally receive a flat weekly salary. In addition to a base salary, counselors also may receive a benefits package during the time they spend working at the camp. This usually includes room and board and basic medical coverage. These expenses have a combined value of $194 per week for each counselor. Counselors with special skills such as music, art or coaching may also receive weekly bonuses.
