JUNIOR COUNSELOR (JC) - 14+

REGISTRATION FORM

 

For youth who previously participated in Kolonie as campers, we offer an option to return to camp as a junior counselor (JC). By signing up for this position, the individual volunteers his/her time to assist in running some Kolonie program activities. Camp Vista creates an opportunity for these individuals to develop character traits such as: conscientiousness, precision, hard work, honesty, friendship, service to others, etc. Often it is serving others in a camp setting that begins the discovery and development of individuals’ talents (sports, music, poetry, arts & crafts, dancing, etc.).

​

These individuals can also participate in this program by assisting their group leader. They will be taking part in activities such as preparing and running activities for younger campers, helping in the kitchen, clearing out the forest, etc.

​

Junior counselors have a limited participation in the Kolonie program; however, they have additional evening meetings and get-togethers at which they discuss topics relevant to life at camp.

Cost: $550 / week

​

Housing is in a cabin with fellow participants and a group leader, or in a group of junior counselors and volunteers.
