4-H Camp Looking for a few Good Counselors


 The State Camping Team wanted to reach out to each of you in hopes you could continue to spread the word regarding some key positions we are still looking to fill for this summer.  We would ask that you would kindly share this information with former campers, LIT's and others in the 4-H community that may be interested in being a part of an amazing camp experience for our youth.  

Many of you have seen the impact these incredible staff have on our campers firsthand but I'd also like to emphasize the impact this experience creates for these staff as they begin to lay their own foundation for success professionally.  If you know of youth aged 18 and older that are interested in strengthening their skill set in areas like leadership, critical thinking, problem solving, teambuilding and more, then please consider sharing this opportunity with them.  

I have included links to each camp's hiring page as well as some information from the ACA which emphasizes the benefits of working at camp.  If you have specific questions regarding the opportunities below, please don't hesitate to reach out.

Eastern 4-H Center: Male and Female Counselors, Rock Wall/High Ropes Instructor, Health Care Coordinator, Wellness Coordinator
We appreciate all that you do to support our programs and we hope that together we can work to not only finalize this year's staff but continue to positively impact those that have graduated from camper by affording them the opportunity to give back in such a rewarding and meaningful way as a counselor.  Please remember to bookmark and save the NC 4-H Camp Resources for Agents google folder where we house information and resources related to camp such as marketing materials, forms, guidance and more.
