Meet Camp Loyaltown’s Training Coordinators
People from all around the world travel to Camp Loyaltown, located in the picturesque community of Hunter, NY, every year to serve our wonderful campers.
They can work at camp on a J-1 Visa, meant for people to participate in work-and-study-based exchange visitor programs.
During their time at Camp Loyaltown, counselors can build their resume, meet people from around the world, learn the person-centered approach to caring for others, travel anywhere in the United States for 30 days after the program ends, and so much more!
