Youth Leader Opportunities
Camp Counselors
Serving as camp counselor stands out as a crucial leadership undertaking for numerous 4-H youth. This experience equips counselors with vital leadership qualities such as persistence and teamwork. It fosters enduring connections and hones their ability to navigate diverse scenarios. In their role, camp counselors provide assistance to younger participants (those who have completed grades Kindergarten-8th Grade), guiding them in learning and ensuring they have a positive and enjoyable experience
“I love coming back to camp as a camp counselor because it’s a place where I meet new people and learn alongside them. The friendships I’ve made at camp are unlike any other, and the experience is truly one-of-a-kind!” – 2024 Counselor
Lifeguard
Lifeguards are required when youth are participating in swimming-related 4-H activities.
- Lifeguards must be certified.
- A lifeguard must be at least 16-years-old and have the appropriate current certification (Lifeguard Training, First Aid, and CPR/AED).
- Beach lifeguards need to have water safety instructor certification from the American Red Cross or equivalent instruction.
- One lifeguard is needed for every 25 people in the water.
- One adult (not necessarily lifeguard certified) for every 10 youth is needed for overall supervision.
- Best practice is to swim where lifeguards are provided by the facility or site.
