A counseling position at Camp La Junta involves long hours of intense interaction with young boys and a dedication to the principles of excellence which have been established over the past 80 years. La Junta's standards require that a counselor possess a positive outlook as well as high levels of responsibility, maturity, good judgment and a sincere concern for and patience with young boys. Counselors must also expect much physical activity and complete adherence to camp policies and procedures. Most of all, counselors are expected to work at all times to ensure that each boy's summer is successful.

I certify that to the best of my knowledge the submitted information is true and correct and that I have read and agree with La Junta's stated purpose, goals, philosophies and policies.  

In submitting this form, I agree to allow La Junta to perform any and all necessary reference, employment and criminal background checks which they deem necessary to confirm my history, qualifications and suitability for employment.
