High School Leadership Opportunities

 

Whether you started out as a Junior camper or experienced Sonlight for the first time through one of our older camps, we are thrilled to have you a part of our Sonlight family. We often hear the expression, “we want more Sonlight in our summer” so we are continuing to offer leadership opportunities to our high school aged- campers who want to  experience Sonlight in a different capacity.

This summer we are offering counselor-in-training (CIT) opportunities for interested high school leaders. Being a CIT is an immersive and educational experience into the role of our counselors. CIT opportunities are available during our Discovery Weeks and Junior Camp for 10th graders through graduated seniors, and then Adventure Camps for recent high school graduates only.

Have you ever wondered what it’s like being a camp counselor? Do you want to gain some experience working with youth? Maybe you are interested in applying for Sonlight Staff down the road. Whatever your intentionality may be, we hope this experience allows for you to grow in greater understanding of where Christ may be gifting you to lead in.  

If this peaks your interest, we hope you’ll consider applying for a CIT opportunity this summer. We are looking for the best and brightest high school students, who love God, love kids, and love Sonlight!
