Leadership Experience!
Have you “aged out” of Campus Adventures but still want to come to Camp? Do you enjoy working with younger kids? Join Directors, Beth Banks and Laura Patch to help behind-the-scenes. Learn what it takes to be a leader and how to organize group activities. You will gain leadership experience by assisting Instructors, Group Leaders, Station Leaders and Camp Directors while helping the younger campers get the most out of Camp.
Celebration lunch for TAs on Friday (after camp clean-up and debrief).

TAs participate in the same Camp Safety Training that staff are required to do.
TAs help in ALL areas of camp.
TAs will have a "playbook" with tons of group activities and helpful resources.
TAs learn about leadership styles, group dynamics, and conflict resolution.
TAs and Directors meet daily after campers leave to debrief the day and discuss what went well and what we need to change for the next day.
