Okoboji Junior Staff volunteer for up to one week at a time in areas of cabin leadership, kitchen support, maintenance help and program leadership. All Junior Staff must attend a one day training event prior to the start of the 2010 camping season. There are two separate training events offered (Junior Staff only need to attend one). Each training event is designed to give you an understanding of the importance of your role at Lake Okoboji Camp. During your training, you will have a chance to tour the campsite as well as meet some of the full-time and seasonal staff. We will also go over the 2010 summer camping schedule and give you an opportunity to sign up for an event (you may also contact camp later to sign up as a Junior Staff volunteer). YOU MUST ATTEND A TRAINING EVENT or call the camp office in order to be Junior Staff at Okoboji. Junior Staff must be at least 16 years old. Training and Volunteer time at Okoboji is free for all Junior Staff. This is a wonderful opportunity for youth to grow as leaders.
