As a consistent baseline, before submitting your information, we ask all prospective Mentees and their guardians to review these Mentorship Expectations together to make sure the program is what you’re looking for and you're clear on what's expected of you.

-Mentees are always expected to follow the Steve & Kate's Camper responsibilities: Be Safe, Be Respectful (of yourself and others) and Take Care (of equipment and the Camp environment).

-Mentees are not Staff members. They cannot direct or discipline campers or be left alone with campers. Their primary function is to be role models to our campers and support Steve & Kate’s staff, while learning about camp in the process.

-For program consistency, Mentees must commit to a minimum of 5 days (many Directors require these to be consecutive). They should keep Directors informed of any changes they need to make (if any) once their summer schedule is agreed upon.

-While being a Mentee can be very fun, at times it may require putting the fun of the campers ahead of your own. While we try our best to have Mentees help lead activities they are excited about, and to give them some choice throughout the day, there may be times when the needs of the campers or camp staff will take priority.

-Mentees will not necessarily have a single staff member who’s instructing them or “mentoring” them throughout the day but more so engaging with them side by side. Mentees should be self-motivated, able to identify ways to help at camp and stay on task on their own without a lot of direction. Their experience will mostly be determined by what they make of it and what they put into it.

-If a prospective Mentee is accepted into the program, their guardian(s) will then need to complete the online camper registration process before they can attend camp.

-If a Mentee is struggling with any of the above-mentioned expectations, interfering with the staff’s ability to deliver a safe and positive experience for campers or generally detracting from the overall camp experience, they may be asked to no longer participate in summer.

By clicking next, the prospective Mentee and their parents are acknowledging that they understand the expectations of the Mentorship program. After completing this Information Form, you may be asked to complete additional steps to help determine whether you can participate, including but not limited to a phone call or meeting with the Director and other program participants. Acceptance into the program is not guaranteed and you may be denied participation by the Director.
