Please note the following:
- Only fully completed applications are reviewed by the selection committee.
- By applying, you do not automatically qualify for acceptance as a counselor in the camp.
- The selection of counselors depends on many factors, including: experience at this camp or other camps; certifications actively held in various activities like archery, ropes course, canoeing, lifeguard, kayaking, or sailing; special interests like arts & crafts, carpentry, culinary, plumbing, music, etc. and the number of campers attending.
- Submit three letters of recommendation (upload in your application as .doc, .docx, or .pdf)
- A background check will be completed on you as part of the application process.
- Every counselor must submit a copy of his/her physical exam (the exam must have been completed within the last three years) using the special state required physical exam form in the application packet. No other form can be accepted.
- The Director of the Camp requests that each counselor make every effort to participate in a few scheduled work parties to help prepare for the opening and closing of the camp. All counselors serve on a volunteer basis.
We thank you in advance for your willingness to serve as one of our counselors. Thank you for helping to make a difference for our kids.
