Purpose:

This program will offer CITs the opportunity to continue their training as a counselor and will allow them to take on greater responsibility in their specialty area. This is a compensated position while allowing the individual the opportunity to contribute to camp. The intent of this program is to prepare individuals to become camp counselors the following summer.

Background:

We find many of our best counselors were once campers themselves. The JC program is set up to bridge the gap between an individual's summers as a camper and working as a counselor.

Requirements:

• 17 years of age and entering senior year of high school, or its equivalent
• Previous Windridge camper
• Mature, trustworthy, responsible, leadership qualities, and ability to abide by camp rules and regulations
• Attend at least two sessions (4 weeks) up to the full summer *Note that we will give priority to applicants that can stay the full summer.

Responsibilities:

• The training and supervision of all JCs will be the responsibility of the JC/CIT Director.
• A JC has many of the responsibilities of a counselor (employee) yet will always work under the direct supervision of other mentor counselors.
• Meet with the JC Director as part of the training and evaluation process. This will include program, resident life, evening activities and special events.
• Follow all camp counselor rules and regulations.
• Work with other staff to develop and help run evening activities and special events.
• Live in a cabin with campers under the guidance of a mentor counselor living in the same cabin. Mentors will be counselors that will help train and evaluate JCs in the responsibilities of resident life.
• Work in an activity area as do regular camp counselors.

Time off is subject to the approval of the JC Director and includes:

• One free period each regular schedule day.
• One day off each week.
• One early night each week from 6:30 - 12:00 pm.
• Every night after cabin is all quiet and until 12:00 pm.

How to apply:

• Read through all of the materials.
• Decide if you are willing to accept the responsibilities of a Junior Counselor.
• Apply as would a regular counselor through our web site and go through the normal interview process.
• There is no tuition fee.
