BENEFITS OF BEING A JUNIOR COUNSELOR:
Being part of the junior counselor  program is a wonderful way for students to develop their leadership gifts.  It is an opportunity to take on a leadership role in a positive learning environment with valuable job training.  It is something that could be put on a resume for future summer job opportunities, and can meet the high school volunteer hours requirement.  Most importantly, being a camp leader is fun!

TRAINING AND MENTORING
The junior counselors  will meet several times per week with the counselors for training and mentoring about how to best perform their camp leadership duties. Additionally, junior counselors  must be able to attend the camp leader training meeting.

QUALIFICATION PROCESS:
All junior counselors must fill out the camp leadership application.  Applications will be reviewed and the leaders and their parents will be notified of the outcome.  Decisions will be made based on availability, application review, references,  and the discretion of the camp director.  Camp leader applications are due by March 31, and the first round of camp leader selections will be made that week.  If we still have openings after March 31 we will continue to accept camp leader applications until all of our spots have been spilled. Feel free to contact the camp director at any time throughout the process with any questions you may have.
