Apply to Be a Junior Leader*


Youth entering grades 7-9 may apply to be a SPARK Junior Leader. Junior leaders have a very important role at SPARK Day Camps. Campers look up to them for support and guidance, while gaining leadership skills as they lead by example.

Junior leaders serve 15-25 hours per week; scheduling is based upon program need. Applications must be returned by April 30, 2020. Junior Leader Application (Download PDF)

*The Junior Leader Program is designed to teach adolescents responsibility and the value of service. This program is not designed to provide a child-care service nor all day supervision for your child.
