JOB DESCRIPTION:
Junior Counselors assist each counselor in leading a group of 16 children of the same gender and age. These 16 campers remain together for the full session and you will be "their JC". This continuity allows you to learn and address the strengths and weaknesses of each child and helps build those strong social bonds that will make camp so memorable for your campers.

Should be extremely responsible, athletic, be passionate and knowledgeable about sports, be a very good student, play on at least one school or club team, and love to work and play with children ages 6-12.
EXPERIENCE:
No experience necessary, but experience coaching/assisting with a youth sports team, after school sports program, or at any summer camp is a big plus.
EXTRA $$$:
Various extra jobs (Beach BBQ, Extended Care, setup, end-of-session cleanup, staff sport competitions, etc.) are offered over the course of the summer which provide an opportunity for junior counselors to earn additional income.
