Safety Camp Junior Counselors Will Be Needed!

Last year’s junior counselors said…

“Being a junior counselor for Forest Lake Safety Camp was a good way to show good leadership!” 
“I loved being involved with Safety Camp.  I had a good time being able to help and lead.”
“It was good to be a role model for young kids.”

Students finishing grades 7-12 are given the opportunity to be a leader and play with the safety campers. Help: during their free times, keep them in small groups, make sure they move together between activities, eat lunch with them, see lots of cool presentations and be with other teens! Free snacks, lunches and instructor t-shirt provided! New & returning Junior Counselors need to fill out a Sign Up form and will need to attend the training session on the Monday before camp from 4:00-5:00pm at LAYSB in Forest Lake. This is a great opportunity to gain leadership skills and show younger kids that you care about them! Contact Tovah Marek at 651-464-3685 for more information.
