Camp Celo Helpers
|
Celo helpers are a group of young people 15-18 years old, for whom
the experience of camp means so much that they are willing to come
 and help in
exchange for the privilege of being part of the Celo family.
Celo helpers assist in the kitchen with meal preparations and
clean-up and also assist the counselors with camper activities and at
bedtime. Helpers are not expected to lead a group of campers alone.
|
|
| Being a helper is a full time job. You will generally have 2 to 3
kitchen jobs each day. At other times you are expected to join in the
camper activities or games or help with work projects on the farm or
in the garden. You should come prepared to work hard. Most helpers
work in exchange for the opportunity to be at Celo. There are a few
paid positions for experienced helpers. |
|
| The day's work begins at 7:30 am with wake-up and ends after the
children's bedtime and evening sing at about 10:00 pm. You will have
one hour off each day and one day off each week. Your day off ends at
the children's bedtime. |
|
| Over the course of the summer we develop a strong sense of teamwork
and community within the helper group. In order to encourage this we
need a core group of experienced helpers who can stay all summer. For
first time helpers it is often best to just come for one or two
sessions to get a feel for the job. It is also important to come for
the pre-camp orientation. The application deadline is February 15th.
Final decisions on applicants will be made in mid-March. |
|
| Lifeguard training is a valuable skill at camp and $200 is paid to
those who have this certification and stay all summer. |
|
| Helpers must turn 15 years old before June of their first summer.
