Become a Counselor or Staff
Applying to be a Counselor
Thank you for your interest in becoming a Camp PHEver counselor! Each cabin of campers is assigned two counselors for the week of camp.
Counselors are expected to participate in the activities with their campers. We expect our counselors to maintain a positive attitude and encourage campers to participate in activities throughout the week. We also hope you will show us your talent at our annual talent show! We encourage all the cabins to have at least one talent show act, but the more the merrier! We also encourage decorating the cabins with signs or other decor based on the annual Camp PHEver theme. You will be notified of the theme prior to coming to camp.
Prior to camp, campers, counselors, and staff with PKU are able to preselect their low protein menu based on their specific protein needs. This menu has been carefully choreographed by our metabolic dietitians and prepared from scratch by our veteran top chefs in the kitchen!
Counselors will need to arrive on the Saturday by 4:00pm before camp begins. Campers will arrive on Sunday afternoon. This extra time will be necessary for counselor training and planning for the arrival of campers.
Counselor applicants who have PKU will need to submit your latest phe level along with your application.
Camp will conclude on Friday morning.

Volunteering as Staff
Our staff play an intricate role in making sure Camp PHEver runs smoothly year after year. Staff may assist with preparing special low protein menu items for campers and counselors. They may also assist with camper check-in, low protein cooking classes, photography, and helping create the end of camp video. Daytime kitchen staff volunteers are particularly needed throughout the week.
All Volunteer Staff must undergo a background check and complete necessary training (online) prior to arriving at Camp PHEver. If you are able to dedicate a day or the full week to being a Camp PHEver Volunteer Staff, please email [email protected] and let us know your availability!
