Counselor Information

We are looking forward to our tenth year of Nature Camp at Tauxemont. In order for Nature Camp at Tauxemont Cooperative Preschool to succeed we rely on youth counselor volunteers. We hope you are having a good school year and are looking forward to summer.

• There are five sessions of camp and each session of camp has a different theme. Please plan to attend your full week(s) assigned.

• Be willing to perform assignments to open and close camp each day. These assignments include setting things up for the day and cleaning up at the end of the day. It is a lot of work and a lot of fun.
