NOW HIRING, Young Adults
Our Lady of Good Counsel Camp, our Diocesan youth camp located in Floral City, Florida, is looking for counselors to live and work at camp from June 6th- August 1st.
Do you love working with kids and will go to any length to make a child smile? Do you love the outdoors and aren’t afraid to smell like a campfire? Do you feel a strong call to God and are confident in discussing your faith? Are you fun and outgoing but at the same time responsible and understand that the safety of a child is your top priority? If so, working as a camp counselor may be for you.
We are looking for young men and women who will be at least 17 years old by this summer. For an application, email Stephen Watkins at swatkins@goodcounselcamp.org. For more information visit- www.goodcounselcamp.org/now-hiring.
