Please review the Expectations & Rules of a Camp SOAR Counselor 

Throughout training, counselors will learn about a day at camp, proactive and some reactive stratgies for behaviors, communication skills, and ways to form connections with fellow counseors and campers. Training day provides a chance to meet all of your wonderful fellow counselors who help make Camp SOAR such a terrific experience for everyone: campers, counselors, and staff.
