Jr Leader, grade 7-10

Jr Leader with campersWelcome! SWCC has an amazing crew of 150+ Jr Leaders that volunteer in our youth programs and family events during the school year.

  • New Jr. Leaders - sign up for a Training Camp during the first 6 weeks of summer and we'll get you started!
  • Returning Jr. Leaders - You are not required to complete the training a second time, though you are welcome to register if you would like. Returning JLs should download or pick up a scheduling request form and turn it into the front desk. We will schedule each JL for 40 hours of volunteer service over the summer - 2 weeks of morning (9am-1pm) or afternoon (1-5pm) shifts. After all JLs have been scheduled, there MAY be an opportunity for additional weeks, but due to the number of volunteers than need placed, we cannot make any guarantees.

  • Volunteer for Family Events! SWCC is recruiting volunteers to help with our family events throughout the year. Call 503-823-2849 to get signed up! Bigger events usually occur in October, January, February & April.
  • Resources: Interested in becoming staff one day? Looking for great ideas for games and activities? Visit Camp Counselor Corner to find out more!
