Volunteer Junior Counselor Program
The Junior Counselor program is a volunteer program for individuals ages 12-17 who are interested in working with kids and enjoy spending time outdoors. Volunteers are an integral part of everything we do at the Gardens!
Junior Counselors practice leadership skills by assisting Lead Counselors with a group of 12-18 campers each week. Campers range in age from 3-8 years old. As a volunteer, you will learn valuable leadership and job skills and have the opportunity to be part of a fun, hard working team.
