We are excited that Ohio 4-H Shooting Sports Education Camps are well underway in being planned for July 2022. To make these camps happen, we need qualified camp counselors and need YOUR help to make that happen. The application is now available at http://go.osu.edu/shootingsportscounselor or is linked on the state website here: https://ohio4h.org/families/members/events-opportunties/shooting-sports/4-h-shooting-ed-camp
We are seeking camp counselors for both junior and senior camp. Applications are due May 1st.
- Junior Camp – (Campers age 9-12) – July 15-17 (counselors arrive on the 14th)
- Senior Camp – (Campers age 12-18) – July 24-29 (counselors arrive on the 23rd)
Important items to note:
- Counselors for junior camp must be 14 as of January 1st, 2022. Counselors for senior camp is preferred that they are alumni (19+); this is a great opportunity to recruit young alumni as volunteers!
- Counselors will go through training in your county
- Shooting sports experience is NOT required. They don’t need to know the first thing about shooting sports – we need people who are just awesome camp counselors.
- This is a great opportunity for your current counselors – or if it works into your training schedule, you might consider recruiting from your shooting sports kids to be counselors for both your county camp and shooting sports camp.
- Shooting Sports Counselors must fill out an application and go through a selection process. Part of the process for that is that I contact the 4-H professional in the county and ask
- Current 4-Hers:
- Have they have they successfully completed the training with you?
- Would you allow this person to be a counselor for your county?
- For alumni – they must be screened, Ohio 4-H volunteers. I’m going to ask you the same questions about those individuals.
