Thank you for your interest in being a 4-H Camp Teen Counselor. We are excited to have you join us!
4-H Camp Counselors are so important to the experience our 4-H campers will have at summer camp. Camp counselors make the MAGIC of camp happen! Being a camp counselor involves listening, sharing, guiding, and advising campers. It's helping campers adjust to new situations, giving encouragement, and caring about each camper.
