Counselors are the very heart of Neringa, since they put Neringa's mission into action. Please read above and below how counselors nurture and uphold Neringa's mission. Contact the camp director Regina Kulbis by phone (978-582-5592) or email regina@neringa.org if you have any questions regarding employment at Neringa.
Neringa is a Lithuanian cultural immersion camp. We strive to create a Lithuanian ethnic atmosphere, to teach our campers as much as we can about our common heritage, and to instill pride and love for the Lithuanian culture.
We entrust all of our camp activities, every camper, counselor, and person at Neringa to Our Lord. We constantly turn to God in praise and thanksgiving, commending to Him our needs and intentions. Faith is an ongoing inner journey. While at Neringa, counselors are asked to take advantage of the various opportunities to nurture their own faith. In sharing our faith experience and being open to growth, we ourselves help create God’s kingdom in our midst.
Tradition has evolved that Thursday night, after the campers are in bed, the counselors gather in the chapel for Mass or prayer. We take this time to pray and to reflect on our own mission at camp in God’s presence. Many former counselors remember this Thursday night prayer tradition and join us in spirit and prayer.
To work cooperatively and to support one another is the ‘golden rule’ of Neringa. The uniqueness of Neringa is that we do not limit ourselves to our own designated and primary tasks. Each one looks for ways to help with another’s responsibilities. By working together we enable each other and balance out our own weaknesses. Thus, counselors come to demonstrate initiative, an awareness of each other’s needs, assistance, encouragement, educational challenges, and constructive feedback. It is precisely this kind of cooperation and working in a community that makes Neringa so rewarding for counselors. To top of page.
