2024 Junior Counselor Application
HI! Welcome to the Blue Lake United Methodist Camp 2024 Junior Counselor Application!

We are so excited that you are interested in working with us this summer! We at Blue Lake are seeking young adults to join us in the journey of pouring God's Love into the children and youth of West Florida and Alabama. We are looking for all kinds of people who are excited to spend a summer outside, sweating a lot, playing with kids, leading by example, making lifelong friends and showing God's love!

Our Junior Counselor Program allows juniors and seniors in high school to experience the behind the scenes of what camp is all about! Junior Counselors will spend part of the summer at camp shadowing their college-aged counselor counterparts and will get the opportunity for leadership in every aspect of camp except for sleeping in cabins! Junior Counselors will live in the Staff Hallway of the Oakwood Lodge while they are here, will have meals provided when the kitchen is open, and I (the program director) would be happy to write them a college recommendation letter at the end of their time here at Blue Lake.

Junior Counselors will pick between 2 sessions:
Session 1: June 9th - June 29th
Session 2: July 7th - July 28th

If you are interested at all in this opportunity I want to invite you to apply, and if you have any questions as you work on the application please don't hesitate to reach out to me at programs@bluelakecamp.com!
I look forward to reading your application soon,
Jessie Spangler
Program Director
