Sign up to be a camp counselor

Triunfo YMCA is seeking experienced camp directors and counselors for its summer camp program.

The program begins in June and continues through August.

"The YMCA has very strict criteria when it comes to camp directors and counselors," said Chrissy Withers, Triunfo YMCA program director. "We're particular, but we believe parents would want us to have high expectations for our summer staff."

Camp directors must 21 years or older and have at least 12 applicable college units completed. Prospective directors must be willing to enroll and complete Administration in early childhood courses available at local colleges.

Counselors must be at least 16 years old and have completed a minimum 36 hours of YMCA camp training.

Directors will be responsible for planning and supervising all camp activities at specific sites throughout Agoura Hills, Westlake Village and Oak Park. Counselors will work at these locations with groups of 10 campers in designated activities.

Triunfo YMCA is also looking for volunteers to staff the front office and help with childcare and the Junior Lakers basketball league.
