Pacific Co. 4-H Camp Brochure
Counselor Training -
Pacific County 4-H is holding Camp in Pacific County.
We are going to need counselors. Counselors work with
the camp director and play an active role in the
outcome of camp. Counselors must have completed the
eighth grade by the end of this current school year and
be enrolled in Pacific County 4-H by 1 May. This is
you! Please participate in 4-H Camp Counselor
Training!
This interesting two-day session
will cover leadership topics and prepare you to be a
Camp Counselor. We will be spending the night at Camp
Morehead on the Long Beach Peninsula. There is no cost
for this counselor training, however, should you
register to attend and not show up without notifying
us, you will be charged a $20 fee. The things you will
need to bring are listed in this mailing. If you have
questions please call Jackie or myself in the Extension
Office. We will be happy to answer any question you may
have.
Attending this training does not
commit you to being a camp counselor nor does it
guarantee you will be selected to be a camp counselor
If you have a special need in
order to participate in counselor training please
contact Jackie or myself in the Extension Office before
4 June. We will help make arrangements for you.
The registration form and all
other forms must be in by June 4, 2002.
Looking forward to your
involvement!
