Plan for approximately 1 counselor for every 5 students. Core staff are not counselors.
For YMC 1 (2nd-4th grade):
Consider counselors of all ages. This is an opportunity for first-time counselors to be mentored by counselors who have camp experience and an interest in music.
For YMC 2 (5th-7th grade):
Consider selecting counselors who are at least 3 grades ahead of the students. These camps are best staffed by counselors who have previously worked at one or more camps. Counselors should be responsible and and have an interest in music.
For YMC 3 (8th-9th grade):
These camps are best staffed by counselors who have previously worked at one or more camps. Counselors should be mature and ideally at least 18 years old with an interest in music. Exceptions could be considered in certain circumstances.

After selecting the staff you'd like to serve at your camp, contact them to confirm their availability.
If they respond saying they can work at your camp, add them to your final staff list and send them a welcome message.
Once your staff list is confirmed, reach out to applicants who will not serve at camp and inform them that all staff positions have been filled.
Please use the camp agenda template to ensure accuracy and consistency at each camp. Items highlighted in yellow should remain unchanged. All other sections may be adjusted to better suit your specific camp's needs.

Please send your completed agenda to the seasonal Camp Assistant (camp.assistant@llchurch.org) once it is complete, at least 1 month prior to camp.

When your camp has concluded, watch for an email from the LLC with links to your Wage & Expense Form and an Evaluation Form. Please fill these out as soon as possible after camp is over. The wage & expense form will allow you to request payment for your time at camp, and the evaluation form helps us to improve. Bring any thoughts and feedback with you when you fill out this form. Thank you for serving at camp!
