Lessons at Coniston that Shape Future Careers

join the college & career mentoring program

The mentoring program is a database of Conistonians who have volunteered to share information about their college, profession, career paths, and job skills. If you are looking for career advice, or are looking to find information about a particular college, you can request college or career mentoring and we will match you with a Coniston mentor who can help! We invite all to participate in the program. The more who participate, the broader the range of information the database can offer, and the more helpful it is to the Coniston Community.

professional development

We get it. You sometimes hear it from your friends or relatives. Being a camp counselor can have the connotation of being a “summer off” from preparing for the “real world.” But as we all know, it’s the lessons learned at camp that are some of the most powerful in our day-to-day lives. In this role of responsibility, the challenges faced and experiences gained provide skills and confidence that are applicable not only in daily life, but in any field or industry. Remember: Every summer, parents trust you with their most valuable possessions: their kids!
