The Extension of Our Family
Our staff isn’t just a team; they’re an extension of the FBS family. Handpicked for their creativity, enthusiasm, and passion for working with youth, our counselors and leaders bring unparalleled energy and dedication to camp life. From teachers and parents to college students and professionals, every staff member is chosen through a highly selective interview process designed to uncover those who embody our values and can connect with kids on a meaningful level.
Any camp can offer a variety of activities, but at FBS, we know that the heart of the experience lies in the people leading them: our counselors. They dial into kids’ endless imaginations and create a safe, nurturing, and fun environment for kids to test their limits, try new things, and make new friends. They understand that these are skills that will build confidence and character, lasting an entire lifetime!
We look for individuals who inspire and engage, who can share their playful “inner child” while serving as positive role models. Our unique interviews are designed to understand counselors’ experiences with children, while uncovering their passions, talents, and strengths. With an acceptance rate of just 4-5%, our counselors are truly exceptional.
But being part of FBS is more than just a summer job. In staff surveys, the #1 thing our team members say they love most is the sense of community. At FBS, we create an environment where staff can share all sides of themselves and discover new ones in a collaborative, supportive space. We are a family that grows together, learns from one another, and fosters inspiration every day.
Training & Qualifications
Before the first camper arrives, our staff undergoes comprehensive training, building the skills they need to motivate, mentor, and guide children over the course of two weekends. Equipped with expertise in CPR/First Aid, child psychology, teamwork, and conflict resolution, our counselors are prepared to help campers grow and thrive in a safe, fun, and enriching environment.
Whether they’re leading activities, cheering on campers, or joining in the fun themselves, our staff is fully immersed in creating unforgettable summer experiences. At Fitness by the Sea, our team doesn’t just supervise—they inspire, nurture, and empower every child to shine.
