Hofstra Summer Camps
are accredited by the ACA
Counselor Apprentice Program
Session Dates: July 6 - August 14
The program is offered not only as preparation for a future position at Hofstra Specialty Camps, but as a positive and creative summer experience. The student trainee will be exposed to activities that challenge the teenage inquisitive quest for knowledge.
The program has an excellent balance of workshop seminars and hands-on observations and assistance with campers.
The trainee will be introduced to many of our exciting specialties and different age groups. Several topics will be stressed, such as building relationships, CPR instruction, policy and procedures, safety, physical conditioning, organizational skills, and more. Half the day consists of instruction. For the other half of the day, the student is placed in a specialty or recreation group. On the first day of camp, the counselor apprentice will be given a choice of three specialties; no guarantees will be made regarding placement.
