Camp Counselors Our camp counselors make our camps special. They are neighborhood teens who are enthusiastic about playing outside with kids and have been volunteering or working with me for multiple summers – this is our fifth year! Junior Counselors Campers in grades 6 -8 are welcome to join us as junior counselors. All the fun, some of the responsibility! A great opportunity to build confidence and participate in camp at no cost.
