Summer Camp Counselor Applications - Due March 15th

Must be post marked March 15th

Many previous counselors and parents are asking if they need to create an essay. The answer is YES. One page is fine. Why do you want to be a counselor? What was your favorite part? ("Read More" for all the specifics).

EVERYONE that would like to be a counselor at our summer camps is required to submit an essay and a $50 application fee in order to be considered as a counselor.

Even if you have worked with us before.

Click on "read more" below to find out all the specifics!

Every potential counselor must write an essay, submit the fee, tell us the dates they are not available during camp, and be there to break down the set after the final performances.

Even those who have worked for JTP before. There will be limited counselor positions at each camp this year, and not everyone will be selected.

We have put this new policy in place to help determine vacation schedules, skill sets, how to round out our camp staff, and to add participation and mentorship during our regular season of shows. It is possible that you will be given a part time position, if you can not be there the entire run of the camp.

MORE REQUIREMENTS:

Counselors will be required to volunteer for one production during The Justice Theater Project’s regular performing season, as well as have clearly defined attendance during our camps and must participate in the striking of the set at the conclusion of the camp.

  Many hands are needed to break down the camps, and to run our shows during the rest of the year.

ABOUT THAT ESSAY:

Essays and fees are due by March 15th, 2010.

The essay should address why the student would like to be a part of The Justice Theater Project’s Performing Arts Summer Series, what previous theater and volunteer experience they have, and how they feel they can help create a fulfilling camp experience for our campers.  Which camp are you interested in working?

  Essays should not be longer than one page.

Please mail all applications to 9650 Strickland Road, Suite 103-210, Raleigh, NC 27615.

Include your name, age, address, email address and phone number.

You MUST also include any dates that you will not be at camp due to family vacation or other obligations. Please consider the below performance dates in your schedule. Remember:  Striking the set during the final performance is required of counselors.

If you are a senior counselor and will be receiving compensation, you will not be paid for days that you are on vacation.

“Junior Counselors” are considered rising 9th Grade students and are not paid. 

The $50 application checks are payable to The Justice Theater Project.

Please email Melissa at marketing @ thejusticetheaterproject.org with any questions or concerns.
