2015 4-H Military Camp Mentors
The
Texas 4-H Center is accepting applications for mentors to assist with camps for
our military youth this summer. We are accepting mentor applications for the
Young Hero’s Camp scheduled for June 8-12 and Camp Corral which is scheduled
for July 12-17.
The
Young Hero’s camp is designated for military youth whose parents serve in
National Guard and Army Reserves. Youth for this camp range in ages 11-14 and
their parents are currently active
members of the military.
Camp
Corral is a summer camp designated for children of wounded, disabled or fallen
military families. The camp is a place where military kids, ages 8-15, are free
to be kids. It’s a week packed full of fun and discovery.
Youth
interested in serving as mentors must be from 15-18 years of age. Mentors will
reside in the dorms and participate in all camp activities. They will shadow
Texas 4-H Center counselors and be available to assist in whatever capacity is
needed.
This is a great leadership opportunity and will help the children of our military have a fun filled camp experience. Registration for each mentor selected will cost $35. To apply for a 4-H Camp Mentor position, please fill out the attached application and submit two reference forms. For more information on the 4-H Military Camp Mentor positions please email Mark Carroll at jmcarroll@ag.tamu.edu. Applications will be accepted until March 15th.
