Counselors
 It takes a special person to be a Camp Mystic counselor. We hire young
women who will be positive role models, have genuine love of children,
and truly want to spend time with the cabins of campers they are
assigned to. Counselors should: be wholesome in language, appearance
and action, be willing to comply with all camp policies, and be
outstanding examples to our young girls. Counseling does involve hard
work, but it is so rewarding that you will feel you had a happy,
fulfilling summer.
Mystic counselors are paid salaries, provided with furnished room and
board, plus given a laundry allowances. Counselors must have completed
at least one year of college. Counselors will gain leadership
experience, make life-long friends, and receive favorable reference
letters for their future for jobs well done.
 Counselors
have the dual role of teaching an activity and serving as a cabin counselor.
Two or three counselors reside in each cabin, with an average of
sixteen campers per cabin. Cabin life is the most important aspect of
a child's camping experience, and it is the counselor's main
responsibility to make cabin life fun, harmonious, and uplifting.

Camp Mystic was established in
1926 to provide young girls with a wholesome Christian atmosphere in
which they could develop outstanding personal qualities and
self-esteem. The staff at Mystic continues to maintain these goals and
challenges its campers to three ideals:
1. Be a better person for being at Mystic
2. Let Mystic bring out the best in them
3. Grow spiritually.
The Mystic staff strives to help every
girl develop spiritually, mentally and physically. To achieve this
goal we need counselors who are dedicated to this purpose.
Other Staff
It takes a dedicated person with a
true spirit of service and a solid work ethic to serve on Camp
Mystic's staff. Staff members, both male and female, must meet the
same criteria followed by counselors, but should have some experience
in the area of work for which they are applying. The most important
traits for staff members to possess are dedication to their jobs and
loyalty toward their employers and Camp Mystic.
