Camp counselor and junior camp counselor applications are now available for youth in grades 7 and over.
Serving as a camp counselor is a key leadership activity for many 4-H youth. Camp counselors learn important leadership skills like persistence and teamwork, develop long-lasting relationships and learn how to respond in a variety of scenarios.
Camp counselors support younger youth (who have completed grades 3-6) in learning and help them have an affirming and fun experience.
