Summer Camp Psychology Internship – Summer 2026 in the Berkshires!

Spend the Summer of a Lifetime at Camp Danbee!

Camp Danbee is offering an exciting Psychology Internship for college students seeking meaningful, hands-on experience in youth development, leadership, and community life — all while spending the summer in the beautiful Berkshires of Massachusetts!

At Danbee, interns gain real-world experience applying psychological principles in a vibrant, supportive setting that helps young women build confidence, self-awareness, and lifelong friendships.

The Role

As a Psychology Intern, you’ll be fully immersed in the camp experience — living, working, and mentoring in a close-knit community. Interns are placed in one of our program areas based on individual experience, passion, and skills, which may include:

• Athletics & Landsports: Basketball, Softball, Volleyball, Soccer, Field Hockey, Flag Football, Lacrosse, and General Fitness

• Adventure & Outdoor Education: Ropes Course, Archery, and Nature
• Creative Arts: Arts & Crafts, Pottery, Jewelry Making, and Photography
• Waterfront & Aquatics: Swimming, Canoeing, Kayaking, Paddleboarding, and Wakeboarding

Alongside your program responsibilities, you’ll serve as a Cabin Counselor, living in a cabin with 10–12 campers and two to three co-counselors. You’ll help guide your campers’ social-emotional well-being, model healthy relationships, and foster the sense of belonging that defines the Danbee experience.

Professional Development

This internship is designed for students pursuing degrees in Psychology, Education, Human Development, Social Work, or related fields who wish to gain real-world experience in understanding group behavior, communication, and leadership.
