Counselor Application

Bellwether Farm Camp is a small, inclusive week-long camp that values physical and spiritual wellness, connection to the land, and community. With about 40 campers per week, our days are spent in activities that vary from cooking and farming to archery and canoeing to hiking and field games- and lots of nature-based art! Campers are organized by cabins, with 8 near-peers and two counselors. Campers participate with their cabins in most activities, and gather with the whole camp for meals, daily assemblies, and some after-dinner all-camp activities (like the talent show!) We strive to make Bellwether Camp a fun and inclusive place for all identities and energies, including extroverts and introverts alike. Read more about what to expect, and a sample schedule, in our FAQ section.
