Plug into Nature Summer Camp is a five-day summer camp experience for 3rd to 5th grade youth in Hancock County.  Campers will receive an appreciation and enjoyment of the outdoors. They will be exposed to the beauty of nature and learn to work in teams for fun and active activities that do not included modern day technology.

We are looking for six high school (11th or 12th grade), college age students, or adults to participate as counselors during our one week camp.  The camp will take place at the Nameless Creek Youth Camp from July 8, 2013 to July 12, 2013 from 9am to 4pm.  The camp is located at 2675 S. 600 E, Greenfield, IN. - approximately 4 miles southeast of Greenfield, IN. Counselors will be expected to be present throughout the whole camp week and to attend 2 training sessions held on Wednesday, June 26th, 5:30-7:30 pm, and Sunday, July 7th.  Counselors will receive a stipend of $175, and tee shirt for their time and dedication.

The counselors will serve as instructors for the various activities throughout the day. They may be asked to prepare and lead an activity. Counselors will need to display leadership skills and have a fun, spirited attitude throughout the experience.  Campers will look to their counselors as a role model and friend throughout the week. If you are interested there are applications in the Guidance office. The deadline is June 3, 2013.
