Jr. Counselor Program
Are you 15 or 16 years old with experience in the Arts?
Do you reminisce about the good times you had at camp, the things you learned and the friends you made? Now’s your chance to help provide those same amazing memories to the campers at PAW. As a PAW Jr. Counselor, you will assist our staff of professional artists by serving as a mentor to our campers, setting an example through your character and conduct…and demonstrating many of the skills you have learned through your own arts experiences.
The PAW JR. Counselor Program is designed to help Jr. Counselors develop leadership skills in a hands-on… Real World…setting. As a Jr. Counselor you will have the opportunity to learn the basics of mentorship while completing volunteer community service hours, which can be listed as experience on a resume for college and work applications. Most importantly, you will have the joy of watching the campers you have encouraged and supported through their arts journey shine on stage just like you did!
PAW allows up to four Jr. Counselors per session at every one of our camp locations
for outstanding young adults.
To qualify as a Jr. Counselor, students must completely fill out the Jr. Counselor application. All applications will be reviewed and Jr. Counselors will be selected according to the merit of their application. Students will be notified of the status of their application within 2 weeks of submission.
Junior Counselors Program Tuition:
$175 per two week session
Junior Counselors Hours:
8:30am – 3:00pm
