Junior Counselor Program Do you ever look back at your days at camp and think that nothing could ever be as fun as those days? Do you find yourself reminiscing about the carefree days full of swimming, playing tennis, and making bird feeders out of old toilet paper tubes? Well cheer up and snap out of it because we have a NEW program just for you! You might be too old to be a camper and too young to be a camp counselor, but you are JUST RIGHT to apply to be a junior counselor at Tennis Camp or Camp Goodwater! There is an application and selection process to be a Junior Counselor. We want to be sure the Junior Counselor program is the right fit for you and it’s an opportunity for you to ask questions and learn more about whether you think you really want to be a Junior Counselor. We are limited in the number of Junior Counselors we can accept to be sure it’s a quality learning experience for participants, so sadly we won’t be able to take everyone who applies. Age: 13-16 years old Date: Summer camps run from June 3 - August 9. Each week is a new session and Junior Counselors must be able to make a commitment to 2 (two) sessions. Time: 9:00am - 4:00pm each day Location: If you would like to be a Junior Counselor with Tennis Camp, you would be at the Tennis Center each day. Junior Counselors with Camp Goodwater start and end their day at the Teen Center, but will go offsite depending on that day’s activities. Application: Each applicant must turn in a completed application form and one reference form completed by a non-family member by Monday, March 4. We will then schedule interviews and notify applicants about selection in late March. No fees are due unless applicant is selected to be a Junior Counselor. Applications can be found on-line at parks.georgetown.org and at the Recreation Center, Tennis Center, and the Parks and Recreation Administration Building. Fees:
$75 per session (week) $95 per session (week)
Residents Nonresidents
