2022 Shooting Sports Camp Counselor Applications Available

| rees.139

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.

2022 Ohio Military Kids Camp Counselors Needed

| rees.139

OMK Camp Counselors NEEDED

We are looking for camp counselors to join us this summer as we host military youth from all over the state. The great success of this camp lies in the awesome experience that camp counselors provide for military youth where they can learn, grow, and build friendships with other military youth in a fun and safe environment. This is an opportunity for those who love camp but have aged out of their county 4-H program and those who are ready for new experiences beyond their county.

Our Youth and Teen camps will operate on SEPARATE dates at the Erie County 4-H Camp  on Kelleys Island:

  • TEEN CAMP (ages 12 to 15): August 1-5 (mandatory on-site camp counselor training July 30 & 31)
  • YOUTH CAMP (ages 9 to 11): August 7-11 (mandatory on-site camp counselor training August 5-7)

Those interested in being a camp counselor with OMK, fill out an application directly from the OMK website or through the following link: go.osu.edu/OMK22counselor

Two references (from someone unrelated to you) must complete this link as well: go.osu.edu/OMK22ref

Don’t delay: Accepting applications until positions are filled. A phone interview will be scheduled as part of the selection process. Attached is a flyer.
