CAMP CAPITOLA JUNIOR LEADER PROGRAM

The Camp Capitola Junior Leader program is a summer opportunity for teens ages 14-17 who are interested in becoming a Camp Capitola Recreation Leader after high school.

The Junior Leader program provides leadership and job training while having fun and assisting Camp Capitola Recreation Leaders with summer programing. Junior Leaders can use their summer camp experience to fulfill school and community service requirements. We provide each Junior Leader with a formal certificate showing these hours upon successful completion of a full session and a letter of recommendation from the Recreation Coordinator.

Participants are expected to be committed, punctual, and responsible in the program and to treat this responsibility as a job. We ask that each Junior Leader commits to at least 1 full 2-week session of summer. They are under direct supervision of the Camp Capitola Assistant Coordinators, as well as the Recreation Coordinator. There is a $72 PER SESSION cost for this program that is reimbursable after
