Camp Doodles & Summer Club
only seeks counselors who want to make personal contributions to the children
they serve. Leading children, protecting their safety and helping them
grow into worthy adults is challenging and serious work. Being a counselor is very much like being a parent - the real reward is the knowledge that you have given a big part of yourself to many children and those children will carry that part of you with them for their whole life. |
