Counselor Apprentice Program 2008
Session Dates: June 30 - August 8
The trainee who satisfactorily completes the program will be considered for a “Junior” staff position the following camp year. This appointment will be based on the candidate’s performance during the training year.
The program is offered not only as preparation for a future position at Hofstra 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 actual 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 your child will be given a choice of three specialties; no guarantees will be made regarding placement.
Eligibility:
• 15 or 16 years old by June 30, 2008
• Letter of recommendation for school required by May 1, 2008
• Must enroll in 3 sessions; 6 weeks
• Preference will be given to former campers
Age: Boys and Girls ages 15 & 16 years old
Program Director: TBA
