Spring Kids Camp Youth Program Assistant Application

Animal Kids Camp is our day camp for kids who love animals! Campers will spend hands-on time with our Pet Adoption Center cats, dogs, puppies, and kittens. They will participate in animal-themed crafts, activities, and games, hear from fantastic guest speakers who work with animals, and make new friends who love what you love – the animals, of course! Without the help of people like our Volunteer Camp Counselors, our Animal Kids Camp could not exist.  

Being a Volunteer Camp Counselor will be both fun and hard work. If you enjoy working with children, are able to demonstrate compassion and respect towards animals, can serve as a positive role model for campers, and provide dependable, respectable and responsible support for staff and campers, this may be the position for you. Unfortunately, the number of Camp Counselor positions are limited and we regret that we are unable to accept every applicant. Please note that applicants must be at least 15 years of age when applying.  

Important Information 

Roles and Responsibilities: Volunteer Camp Counselors will perform a variety of duties that include, overseeing campers, set-up and clean-up of activities, assisting with managing camper’s behavior, and other duties as assigned. Please note that the Volunteer Camp Counselor’s responsibility is working with children and not with the animals.
