Hey, Teens! Interested in Becoming
a Camp Counselor? Here's Your Chance!

Summer is just around the corner, and now is the time to start making plans for summer vacation! Recently, a letter went out from Samara Chodosh regarding the JCC's Counselor in Training (CIT) program, also known as the Madrichim Program. "This program is a great transition from camper to counselor," said Chodosh. "You will receive extensive hands-on training and experience working with campers at Camps Chaverim, Ora and Arye, while developing your knowledge of child development, leadership and programming skills.

"In the Madrichim program you will rotate through each of the eastside camps for the first three weeks (June 16-July 3)," she said. "Then, you'll be helping out with Circus Camp for the fourth week (July 7-July 11)."

All Madrichim applicants must complete an application with references prior to signing up for the program, she said. "Those accepted after an application and interview process must attend Madrichim orientation. Upon completion of the Madrichim program, you may choose to volunteer for the remaining camp weeks (subject to approval by the camp directors). The program includes all training, a camp T-shirt and a water bottle. Additionally, all Madrichim participants will be invited to attend an Appreciation Party given by the JCC during the second half of the summer!
