Each staff member gets 5 days off throughout the summer that is assigned to them. They are off nights a week but have to be back for AM Curfew. We look for many different qualities but some of the main qualities we look for are those who are hard workers and have a commitment to the values of camp. They must have an ability to be a great role model for children of all ages and other staff. We asked the camp what positions they are looking to fill. When he's not working, Zach enjoys being outside or at the beach, exercising, and watching Alabama football.
After looking for a unique summer work experience where he could be outside and work with kids, Zach came to Trail's End in as our Pioneer Group Leader. Although he initially planned on spending only one summer at camp, after falling in love with Trail's End and his now wife, Katie, Zach has been with us ever since!
Zach has served as our Pioneer Group Leader and Boys Head Counselor before transitioning into our Assistant Director in charge of all male campers and staff. Zach considers himself truly "Better For Having Been. Zach says getting to announce in their pregnancy during Friday Night Services is one of his favorite camp memories. Their daughter, McKinley, was born on February 8, Jim was brought to camp in by his colleague and our Assistant Director of Boys, Zach, to serve as our Athletic Director, and he didn't come alone!
They all quickly became an integral part of the Trail's End family. In , Jim became our Head of Program Areas, and he now spends his summer leading, training and developing all of our Area Directors.
During the winter, he works as a professor at Northern Illinois University, where he trains future physical education teachers. When asked why he loves working at Trail's End, Jim says he loves the people and the unique, daily interactions with the campers and staff. Find jobs. Company reviews. Find salaries.

You work hard, but also play hard. Living with campers is no joke but friends become family and the leadership team helps guide you through the experience.
I would love to be able to keep returning summer after summer but real world got in the way. Highly recommend. Pros Meals, travel reimbursement, staff activities. Cons Long hours. Was this review helpful? Yes There are 1 helpful reviews 1 No. Report Share. Mentally draining. Pay was poor, especially considering the sheer entitlement of management AND campers. Favoritism was clear and the culture is mentally draining. Seen many counselors go home due to mistreatment and a fair amount of gaslighting.
Though, I imagine the environment may have been a bit different had it been properly staffed and if COVID was not a factor. Best if you came with friends. Pros Free meals, beautiful scenery. Cons Entitled campers and staff, poor communication.
This camp has a very "keeping up with the Jones'" type of vibe. This camp's core values do not serve as the basis for how it actually functions and how their employees are treated.
When I worked here, I was so unhappy when I came home that I had to get counseling. Management is more focused on what the camp physically looks like than the actual internal foundation and culture of the place and how they treat their employees.
Most of the campers are obviously wealthy and some, not all are absolutely rotten. Her loving nature and warm personality are felt throughout camp. Rona is truly a TEC baby spending every summer at camp since she was 6 months old. While Rona spends a large amount of her time working behind the scenes at TEC, her kindness, sincerity and compassion provide both campers and staff with the support they need to get the most out of their summer. Marc was first introduced to the world of summer camp at age 15 when he attended Twin Hills.
