Camp La Junta Background:

Camp La Junta is a private, traditional, recreational, overnight camp for boys offering four-week or two-week sessions.  Camp La Junta is situated on 200 acres of scenic Texas Hill Country, alongside a mile of the crystal clear, spring fed Guadalupe River.  The summer program was developed to allow boys to participate in a variety of exciting activities which broaden their experiences and cultivate a strong sense of success and self-confidence.  Campers select the ten activities which they wish to participate and each has his own unique activity schedule.  Typical cabins house 8-12 kids with 2-3 counselors.    Enrollment is limited to 250 boys per session, aged 7-14, and there are 60 La Junta counselors. Of these 60 counselors, La Junta hires up to 6 females to work with our youngest campers. In addition to counselor staff, we hire nannies, nurses, office staff, maintenance and kitchen personnel. In a given summer, approximately half our staff are returnees, half are past campers. Each year we hire approximately 15 - 20 new staff members. 

Our goal in the summer is to provide a dynamic work experience which rivals the excitement and life experience of the camper program.  The professionalism of our training and management styles mirror the best run companies in modern business.  A Camp La Junta counselor experience is not only fun, relaxing, fulfilling and rewarding, but provides countless hours of personal, professional, management and leadership experience which will continue to benefit you for years to follow.  At La Junta, we don't merely add counselors and employees in the summer, we add team members and family.  Our staff give us much in the summer, and we want to make certain that we give back.  We know that it is the counselors who make the summer excel, so we want to make your summer, every summer,  a once in a lifetime experience.
