Junior Counselors
Students who are at least 15 and entering 10th grade - freshman year of college in the fall

Along with the Senior Counselor, Junior Counselors lead the group in their daily adventures. They play an important role in helping their campers become a team and ensuring that each day is both exciting and safe. JCs receive valuable training both before and during the summer from the camp directors and their Senior Counselors. Junior Counselors are volunteers who commit to at least one or more full sessions with a group. Each of our camp sessions is three weeks long (Pre Camp has one two-week session), and our dates for summer 2012 are: June 18 - July 6 Door-to-door transportation is included for Day Camp/Senior Outpost, and may be available for Pre Camp. Many Junior Counselors use their summer camp experience to fulfill school and community service requirements, and we provide each Junior Counselor with a formal certificate showing these hours upon successful completion of a full session. |
To apply to be a JC at Outpost Summer Camps, simply CLICK HERE. Begin with "Create a New Account" unless you are a returning staff member. Please note that incomplete applications will not be considered - so be prepared to submit a fully completed application. Most Junior Counselor applicants complete the process in about 20-30 minutes. One of our camp directors will contact you within one week of successful submission of a completed application.
Parents: a position as a junior counselor is a great first time "employment" opportunity for many young individuals. As such, we encourage our junior counselors to take complete responsibility for this process themselves - by calling with any questions regarding their volunteer position, completing the application themselves, and most of all completing and returning the accompanying paperwork personally. If you have any questions about this process - contact our directors.
