Tween & Teen Assistants
Overview
The Camp Assistant Program is for incoming 7th and 8th graders. Assistants play with kids and help with projects. Additionally, they go swimming and do most of the projects if they want.
Activate School graduates get early access to these positions, so the slots may be sold out before enrollment opens to the general public. We are limiting graduates to two camps because the demand for this program is high, and the capacity is very low.
Tuition and Times
Consistent with other ‘Counselor in Training’ programs, assistants are charged tuition. It’s 20% off the regular tuition.
Benefits

Assistants learn job skills.
Assistants can add Activate to their future job applications.

Assistants must be available most of the week. We understand that they occasionally might have to leave early because of extracurricular obligations.
