* Junior Counselor Program for 15 year old teens: Would you like to spend your summer doing something that will make you feel good about yourself and help you develop life-long skills? If you will be 15 as of October 15, 2011 and would like to volunteer your services in a leadership capacity with younger campers, then apply for one of these positions. The application will be available during the registration process or you can download one from the website. The deadline to apply is Thursday, May 26 and two letters of recommendation will need to be provided with the application. Applicants will also be required to attend an interview with the Recreation Director and the summer camp directors prior to beginning the program. Anyone who is selected for a Junior Counselor
position will be expected to provide 21 days (7 hrs/day) or 150 hours of service to the program for the summer. Regular progress in this position will be expected, and evaluations will be provided regularly throughout the summer. Involvement as a Junior Counselor does not guarantee future employment; however, successful participants are given first consideration for open positions.
* Senior Camper Program for 14 year old teens: This program is designed to foster the skills needed to become a Standish Recreation Junior Counselor. Leadership, team building, community service and program planning will all be addressed through the activities that these campers will be involved in. Campers choosing to participate in this program will pay a discounted rate of $150.00 for the summer camp fee and will need to participate in a minimum of 80 program hours.
