Volunteers
What is a Volunteer Counselor?
Our volunteer counselors are the dedicated heart of summer camp. They are youth ages 16-18 who have attended our Leadership Week (counselor training), have summer camp experience, and enjoy working with children. In addition, youth ages 14-15 interested in becoming counselors, can spend a week as a counselor-in-training (CIT). These individuals have proven their talents during Lead Week and/or through volunteer dishwashing, and/or through out the year at Camp Encounter events as volunteers.
What is a Volunteer Director?
Our volunteer directors are the dedicated support staff. They are 18+ years old volunteers who assist in planning and running certain aspects of the camp program e.g. theme meals, wide games, secret friends, as well as providing general help all over camp. Volunteer directors are required each week of summer camp and often we have two out at a time.
Most volunteer directors come from our pool of volunteers who are old enough to handle programming type responsibilities, as well we use the volunteer director position as a measure of the talents, skills and competency of all potential future staff members.
What is a Volunteer Dishwasher?
Our volunteer dishwashers have some of the most fun out at camp, Seriously! We open 2-3 position for volunteer dishwashers each week during the summer. Main responsibilities are to clean dishes after each meal and help with out-trip. In this position dishwashers have the most free time to join the various programs going on at camp. This position is also used as an introductory role into volunteering at camp. Dishwashers who work hard, stay involved in all the activities, and bring positive energy to camp, are highly valued and considered for future volunteer counselling.
Open to anyone aged 14-18.
