Meet Your 2025 Cabin Counselors

Our Cabin Counselors impact Berky campers beyond the soccer field and the activity areas.

Each cabin of 8-14 campers typically houses one Assistant Soccer Coach and one Elective Staff member. This gives the girls the opportunity to build relationships and bond with both soccer and elective staff members.  Our cabin counselors work together to supervise and support their campers. They are essential mentors and positive role models, promoting friendships and fun and encouraging positive group interactions and cohesion. They also ensure campers keep the cabins organized during daily cabin clean-up. All cabin counselors are 18 years or older.

Our Res Life Team oversees all aspects of cabin life and camper well-being. They work alongside our health staff and cabin counselors to ensure that campers feel safe, supported and have fun during their time at Berky.
