Sleep Away Camp Junior Counselor 2012

We are now accepting applications for our 2012 Junior Counselor program!

The Junior Counselor program is for girls who would like to further enhance their leadership skills by learning what it's like to be a Camp Counselor at Sleep Away Camp.  More information about the program and sessions available appears within the application, downloadable below.  This is a great option for girls planning on being camp counselors in the future and will have completed 11th or 12th grade by summer 2012, but who are not yet 18 years old.

For girls who have completed 8th - 11th grade, check out the CIT Programs (Counselor in Training).

The application deadline for summer 2012 is Monday, February 27, 2012 at 12:00 NOON.  All parts of the application, including at least two references, must be received by this date.  Applications received after the deadline will only be considered if there are still positions available at the desired camp.

All Junior Counselor applicants will be interviewed; space is limited and placement is not guaranteed. Placement in the program is based on experience and at the discretion of the Camp Director. Girls will receive a stipend for being a Junior Counselor. JCs must leave camp on weekend breaks; bus transportation is available at no cost.  If girls are not able to attend for the entire length of the session, other arrangements can be discussed with the Camp Director during the interview.
