Camp Counselor Information

Dear Potential or Past 4-H Camp Cornet Counselor,

Counselors contribute an important part of what it takes to make camp fun and meaningful for campers. To help you feel prepared for your job as a counselor, we have two training opportunities for you. It is mandatory to attend either the Counselor Training Weekend or the One-Day Training Class. Carpooling is encouraged for all training sessions.

SNOHOMISH COUNTY EXTENSION EDUCATION CENTER - Everett
One Day Training: Saturday, May 17, 2008 9:00 AM to 4:30 PM
This class is being offered to those potential counselors who cannot attend the Counselor Training Weekend. We will offer a one-day workshop where you will learn your expectations as a counselor at Camp Cornet. You will participate in becoming familiar with camp policies, health issues, camp schedule, and problem solving strategies. We will also explore children's issues and talk about working with children. Cost is $5.
*Note: Candidates for Junior Counselor cannot attend the One Day Training.

ENVIRONMENTAL LEARNING CENTER - Camp Cornet
Counselor Training Weekend: {6 PM, Friday, June 6} to {10 AM Sunday, June 8, 2008}
This is a weekend of workshops and hands-on training that will let you see what operating camp is like. You'll participate in health, children's issues, activities, classes, learn camp policies, learn problem-solving strategies, conduct daily routines, and hike to Cranberry Lake to see where you'll actually work with campers. Come prepared to learn, join activities, and grow together. It is mandatory to attend either Counselor Training Weekend or the One Day Training Workshop at Snohomish. Cost is $30.
*Note: Candidate for Junior Counselor must attend Counselor Training Weekend.

I look forward to hearing from you and having you join NW 4-H Camp as a Camp Counselor. Remember to include your letter of recommendation and payment with your application. Upon receiving your application, I will send a letter, confirming the training session you will be attending, with directions.

Thanks,

Glenn DePeralta
