Location: Indian Head is located in the northeast corner of Pennsylvania, nestled in the Endless Mountains. Indian Head is 17 miles north of Honesdale, Pennsylvania and only 2 hours from New York City by car!

Campers: There are approximately 500 campers at Indian Head Camp, with the younger children, ages 7 to 12, based at Lake Camp. Campers aged 13 and above and offered opportunities for new and different experiences appropriate to their age and maturity at Hill Camp.

Counsellors (that's you): Staff are recruited from universities across the United States and Canada, as well as comprising a small but enthusiastic band of international staff hired each year to add richness to the camping experience! The average age of staff members is 22 and the camper-to-staff ratio is 3:1.

What the cousellors say: “Working at Indian Head Camp is a surreal experience. While it is, indeed, demanding, it is also full of the magic of play and song and exploration. Working at IHC demands nothing less than a full commitment to your position, plus a great amount of patience and positivism, but the staff will support you and the kids will love you!”
