We are looking for great camp counselors. Shooting Sports experience is not required!
- Junior Shooting Sports Camp is July 15-Jun 17th at Canter’s Cave. Youth must be at least 14 years old as of January 1, 2022. Youth must complete all required training. If a youth is not a counselor in your county but is interested, we do have a training opportunity April nd at the adult instructor workshop. We have also had some youth who were not available for county camps complete training in the county at the discretion of the 4-H professional (a great option for those who live further away!). If the youth is a counselor in your county, they do need to fill out an application but will not be required to attend any additional training.
- Senior Shooting Sports Camp is July 24th-29th at Canter’s Cave. Counselors must be at least 18 as of January 1, 2022, and not attending SS camp as a camper. This is a great way to keep young alumni who have recently aged out involved! For alumni, a great system has been to have them go through volunteer screening in the county. You recruit a young volunteer and we get some great camp counselors! Training is available April nd for these individuals also.
