Types of Staff
There are three types of counseling staff members at Hawkeye; Cabin
Counselors, Program Area Specialists, and Group Counselors.
Cabin Counselors are primarily responsible for the care of their
cabin group. These individuals spend most of their day accompanying
their group to various activities. During activity periods these
counselors attend and participate in each activity that the group does.
These counselors do not plan and are not the primary activity leaders in
any specialty area. They tend to develop closer bonds with their cabin
group members and are expected to manage personalities and issues within
the cabin group. These individuals will have a hand in some infrequent
Program Area activity planning. They are supervised by the Cabin
Coordinators, male and female respectively.

and leading activities in their specific Program Area. Days are spent
leading and preparing for activities. These individuals remain at their
Program Area throughout the day and lead activities for a variety of age
and gender groups. These counselors will occasionally assist in the
another Program Area or in the cabin .

General Counselors have more than one area of responsibility;
they have Program Area responsibilities and Cabin duties. These
individuals split their time between assisting at activity areas and
accompanying groups throughout each day. These individuals are able to
develop relationships with a broader range of campers and share a
variety of their interests.
