Volleyball Instructor Internship
– Camp Cobbossee for Boys –
Monmouth, Maine
Thanks for your interest in working at Camp Cobbossee!
THE JOB
Cobbossee is a 4-week, 2-session sleepaway summer camp in Maine. The dates for this position run from June 10th to August 9th, 2025. For more on what summer camping actually is, see the very bottom of this document!
Cobbossee is looking for a few talented and motivated Volleyball Interns this summer. Situated in the middle of our huge, green campus lies our sand volleyball courts, we also have one down by the lake that is especially popular in the afternoons. Volleyball is a stalwart of the Cobbossee program. Everyone competes at volleyball in our competitive program from our 8 yr olds to our 15 yr old teenagers. We want motivated and experienced players to teach our boys the excitement of volleyball.
Each Volleyball Instructor/Counselor lives in a bunk with (and cares for!) a set of campers and works at the courts during the day, teaching volleyball to a range of age groups and skill sets. This position is also responsible for the upkeep of the courts, inter-camp volleyball competitions and generally contributing to a strong team. You want to belong to an amazing sports program and do good work all summer? This is for you.
THE BENEFITS
Ever wanted to see New England? Well, in addition to your Salary and Bonus, Cobbossee will provide you with a Travel Allowance so you can get out to Maine without spending your own money.
Room and board is also provided ALL SUMMER LONG, so you won’t have any outgoings whilst at camp and on-site laundry, weight room and all of our facilities are there for you to enjoy free of charge.
The food is famously good at Cobbossee.
Further, days off and nights out are spent with other adventurous folks like you. Our counselors make lifelong friends at Cobbossee. Many return year-to-year. We have a very rich social scene over the summer with adventurous young folk joining us from all over the world and states.
OTHER POSSIBLE BENEFITS
We can configure your employment this summer as an internship. Our director, Josh Holland, is a former academic and can make sure your experience is converted into internship credit if that’s what you want. If you are in any child-centered major (teaching, education, coaching) or any sports-related field (sports management, kinesiology, movement, physical-education), this experience can be one of the best paid internships you can find.
THE BOTTOM LINE
“Summer jobs” are often seen as throwaway jobs. Not here. This job is going to challenge you. You are going to give of yourself, have an absolute blast, develop strong friendships with your peers, and really make a difference in young people’s lives.
You should come work at Cobbossee because we are one of the best. We develop counselors like we develop campers. You will change for the better. It will truly be the summer of your life.

For anyone not familiar with the huge world of sleepaway camps in New England, it works as follows:
All over the northeast each summer, families send their boys and girls up to New England to spend anywhere from a couple weeks to the entire summer at a sleepaway camp. Sometimes people who are not from the east coast see this as a strange choice, maybe even a mean choice! “Don’t they like their kids?” the question goes. Of course they do. They love their children and it’s hard for them to be away from them for the time they are at camp. But parents sacrifice time with their kids in the summer because summer camp is really good for young children. Camp (especially longer-term camps of four-to-eight weeks) teaches children independence, self-reliance, and confidence through the teaching of new skills, improving at sports, and living away from home. It isn’t always easy. But it is worth it! Crucial to this process are you, the counselor. You become like a family member to the campers in your cabin. In fact, you will find yourself developing really fast yourself, just so you can be the best counselor and instructor possible for your kids! It is rewarding, challenging, and transformative work to care for campers.
