4-H Summer Camp Help Needed

 Our North Carolina 4-H Camps & Centers are still hiring seasonal summer camp staff for our 2022 summer camp season.

We are especially in need of female counselors at our Eastern 4-H Center and male counselors at our Millstone 4-H Camp.

Attached are a few recruitment pieces for promotion.  The following are links to postings at each individual camp:

• Betsy-Jeff Penn: https://jobs.ncsu.edu/postings/157223
• Eastern 4-H Center: https://jobs.ncsu.edu/postings/156293
• Millstone 4-H Camp: https://jobs.ncsu.edu/postings/152836

Working at summer camp is one of the hardest, but one of the most fulfilling and rewarding experiences a young adult can have in their lifetime.

Please feel free to share this email with any young adults you know who are seeking summer employment opportunities or may be interested.

We would especially love to see former 4-H'ers who have attended 4-H camp join our team.

Feel free to contact me directly with any questions or for more information.

Thank you for your help in sharing these opportunities with your network!

Sincerely,

The North Carolina 4-H Camping Team
