The minimum age is 15 and we welcome college students and young adults. There is no cost for counselors to attend camp.
As a camp counselor, you will get to be part of providing the “experience of a lifetime” for youth who have a family member serving in the military. As one of last year’s counselors said: “I loved being a counselor last year. It was a whole new experience for me and I loved all the amazing people I met.”
Selection Process: All interested individuals will complete and submit an application. After receiving your application, you will be contacted to set up a time for an interview with the camp directors. Selection decisions will be made on an on-going basis until positions are filled.
How to Apply: Because we are accepting applications on an on-going basis this year, interested individuals should return the completed application as soon as possible. A Cover Letter, Position Description, and Application Form can be found in our 'Volunteer' tab at the top of the page.
Operation: Military Kids Camp Programs
The purpose of Operation: Military Kids camp programs is to provide positive youth development experiences for youth with parents deployed in military service. Camps provide an opportunity to be with other youth in the same situation, to learn new things, and to have fun in an outdoor setting.
Trained Ohio 4-H teen camp counselors, Collegiate 4-H members, and adult staff from Ohio 4-H and the military are working together to make these camp programs fun and educational experiences.
