2025 Junior Counselor Application

MKI Junior Counselor Application

Thank you for expressing interest in our Junior Counselor Program! This opportunity allows teens and young adults (ages 13-20) the ability to assist with camp in an age appropriate way. These positions are often in an assistant role, such as leading groups of campers from one station to the next, helping our counselors with crafts or lessons, and most of all, spending the summer at the farm, being a kid! Junior Counselors learn leadership and communication skills, as well as, responsibility. They are able to participate in certain activities, to ensure their summer isn't only work, but also tons of fun! If funding is available, we offer a stipend for our Junior Counselors, in the form of gift cards or check.
