Camp Counselors are Needed
We are in great need of Junior Counselors age 14 and above to assist with Adventure Day Camp on Thursday June 9 at Neligh Park in West Point. Guys and gals are both needed to help with the camp. You can work with the groups of campers along with two other teens or you can volunteer to assist with specific sessions including canoeing and blender bikes. We will hold a counselor training on Wednesday evening June 8 to help you learn the ins and outs of day camp so that you are prepared for a fun day on Thursday.
4-Her’s ages 12 and 13 are needed to assist with the Clover Bud Camp that will be held at the Dinklage Building on the Fairgrounds on Tuesday June 14 from 8:00 to Noon. If you can help with either camp please contact Ellan Hasenkamp.
