WHAT TO EXPECT
Jr. Counselors will be the link between campers and staff at summer camp. Throughout the week they will set the example, lead fun, and assist staff with camp activities. Jr. Counselors will have their own track at summer camp they participate in that will develop their leadership skills.
Summer camp weeks are Monday-Friday.
Jr. Counselors will attend a minimum of one week of summer camp. If they wish to attend more than one week of summer camp, they are able to do so. If a Jr. Counselor wishes to attend multiple weeks of summer camp back-to-back, they must still be checked-out on Friday and then return to camp on Monday. There are no weekend accommodations for counselors.
Jr. Counselors will pay the full early bird fee to participate in each week of camp they attend as a Jr. Counselor. They are able to apply for any state scholarships they meet the criteria for. Information on the state scholarships can be found above.
