LEADING BY EXAMPLE

​

Teen volunteers are an important part of the camp.  Teen volunteers are assigned 2-3 campers on the first day of camp. That is why we need the teens to be available to complete the full 2 weeks of camp.

​

Typically each teen works with this small group of campers teaching the safety rules.  A teen can be available for one-to-one attention if requested. 

​

Volunteers should be entering 6th, 7th, 8th or 9th grade in the fall. Community service hours are earned for participation in the program. 

​

An Orientation Session is held for teen volunteers on the first day for 30 minutes. Teens are required to be at Lincolnwood School at 9 am for the morning session or 12:30 pm for the afternoon group. The $5 fee to cover the cost of t-shirts will be collected on the first day.

​

On the form, a short essay is required explaining why teens are interested in being part of the 2023 Safety Town.
