Ages: 12-15

This program is perfect for the young teen who loves the camp experience and wants to share that love with younger kids while gaining some leadership experience. Jr Naturalists will participate in a training day where they will meet other Jr Naturalists and summer staff, learn how to support OEA’s summer camp program, begin building leadership skills as they practice leading and playing camp games and activities. Following the training they will be invited to help for a week or more of summer camp.
