Counselor/Intern Application

Our campers come to work hard, play hard, and have a memorable experience. We want you to be a part of this! Staff members will be one of a band of leaders with responsibility for a crew of nine campers ranging in ages five to ten. Camp is from 9 am-1 pm on July 27th-31st this year. Staff will lead campers as they participate in exciting daily activities such as fort-building, engineering new inventions, creating art projects, playing sports, enjoying old-fashioned games, learning about nature, and developing vital skills such as teamwork, resilience, and communication. Staff and campers alike will build their problem-solving skills and learn the importance of good character throughout the week of camp!
