Reasons for Applying
Please describe briefly why you wish to be a counselor, or why you wish to work in a staff position at Houghton RFKC?*

Previous Experience
Do you have any training or experience in dealing with abused, neglected, or abandoned children?*

YesNo

Background Information
Were you a victim of abuse, neglect or abandonmentas a minor?*

NoYesYes, but I would prefer to discuss this in person
Working closely with 50 abused and neglected kids for an entire week could easily revive memories and feelings related to your own childhood background. If you have "worked through" painful memories of childhood, you could actually be a very insightful and effective counselor. If you have not, a camp like this could be overwhelming and impair your effectiveness in a counselor or staff role.
How you have coped with your background in ways that would make your involvement in Royal Family Kids Camp an asset to these children?*

Personal Profile
Royal Family Kids Camp provides a safe and fun-filled environment which provides positive memories and family role models within the context of Christian values. Considering that Christian values are a key emphasis, please explain the nature of your Christian commitment. *

Additional Information
What ages of children would you prefer to work with at camp with? (Children are from 6 to 12 years old.)*
Royal Family Kids Camp offers a specific model for working with abused and neglected kids. Sometimes one's own good ideas may need to be subordinated to goals of the entire team or the particular model under which one is working. Although we seek workers who are experienced, self-confident, and perceptive, we also look for a measure of flexibility or adaptability as well. We need to know if you are willing to subordinate your own goals or agenda to the mission of the entire working team, if necessary. Please comment briefly below.*
Each RFKC volunteer is expected to make wise choices related to their “on-line footprint”. Please comment briefly about how your on-line presence is consistent with the values of Royal Family Kids Camp.*
