"Working at Camp Cheerio is one of the most rewarding experiences you can give yourself. Not only can you touch the lives of children, but you gain so much through friendships made, which will last a lifetime."
Matt Hawks, Virginia Tech
Head Counselor

"It all started when I was eight, counting down the days until my parents would finally drop me off at Cheerio. Counting down days turned into counting down hours as I anxiously waited in line on opening day, waiting to tear into camp and claim that top bunk. Not much has changed, I'm twenty years old and I still count down the days until the Cheerio season begins. Working in the beautiful mountains of North Carolina at Camp Cheerio is one of the most rewarding experiences and something I will always anxiously await year after year."
Catherine Shields, University of Georgia
Senior Counselor and Program Assistant

"As a first time counselor at Camp Cheerio I was welcomed into this amazing family with open arms. I had the best time getting to know the staff, spending time with my campers, and learning new things about myself. I am so thankful to have been given such an awesome opportunity to work at Camp Cheerio. I also enjoyed establishing friendships that have continued after camp."
Caitlin Trapani, Elon College
Head Counselor
