Program Info:

The Junior Leader Program is designed to provide experience and training to youth in a fun learning environment. Junior Leaders are responsible for assisting our Recreation Leaders in summer programs. Junior Leaders assist in leading games, arts and crafts, sports, music, and other fun activities for approximately 30 – 100 children. In addition, there are several special outings and staff bonding events scheduled throughout the summer.

There are a limited number of Junior Leader positions available. Junior Leaders are chosen to attend one session only per day. In addition, a 1-hour training session will be held for Junior Leaders each week. Junior Leaders must commit to attending no less than 75% of the camp. If attendance falls below this, participants will be removed from the program and fees will not be refunded.
