Oyster Bay Town Supervisor Joseph Saladino and Councilman Andrew Monteleone announced that the Town is seeking counselors ages 16 and older for the 2025 Summer Recreation Program. The six-week program provides a rewarding employment experience for counselors as they work with children and make a difference.
“This great summer job is ideal for residents age 16 or older who are looking to build their resume,” said Supervisor Saladino. “Our summer recreation counselors get real-world experience while having fun, making memories, and making a difference in the lives of others.”
Applicants must be available for the duration of the program, which runs from 8:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. Monday through Friday, beginning June 30th through August 8th. Orientation will take place the week of June 23rd. Summer Recreation Program participants take part in trips, tournaments, shows and athletic events, including the TOBAY Games, making being a counselor a great first job for many residents.
