    Overview

    The Junior Counselor program at Brown Ledge camp combines increased responsibility around camp, weekly classroom meetings, and teaching practice with the traditional camp program. JCs become an important link between senior staff and campers, carrying on traditions and generating camp spirit. 

    Each summer more than 40 girls enroll in the two-year Junior Counselor Leadership training program. Because of their role as mentors to younger campers, they must have at least one summer of experience as a Brown Ledge camper. Junior Counselors pay full tuition, are at least 15 1/2 years old and have completed the 10th grade. As a JC you will have your own camper cabin. You will spend rest hour with your campers every afternoon, hanging out, providing encouragement and advice, or supporting them in their camp endeavors.
