Counselor Information

About Counselors

The Counselors and Jr. Counselors (ages 16-21) are the backbone of the entire Camp. Counselors are chosen on the basis of their maturity, responsibility, and ability to function well in leadership roles. Counselors are also called upon to assist and teach many of the classes and activities during Camp. Ideally, we are looking for an equal mix of 16, 17 and 18+ year old campers. We are also trying to have a totally new set of counselors for each session to prevent burnout.

For this year, the counselor training and selection process is as follows.

All counselor applications need to be sent to the address below.
There will be 2 sessions of HHSC this year. The counselor training for each session will happen during the week immediately before the start of each session.
Head counselors will be selected prior to counselor training and will arrive to camp a couple of days before the rest of the counselors.

Session	Head Counselor Training Starts	Counselor Training Starts	Camp Dates	Counselors Depart
1st session	Sun June 29th AM	Mon June 30th at 3 PM	Sun July 6th to Sat July 19th	Sun, July 20th Morning
2nd session	Sun July 13th by noon	Tue July 15th before 3 PM	Sun July 20th to Sat Aug 2nd	Sun, Aug3rd Morning
3rd session	Sun July 27th by noon	Tue July 29th before 3 PM	Sun Aug 3rd to Sat Aug 16th	Sun Aug 17th Morning

We are going to need a total of 24 counselors (12 boys and 12 girls) for each session.

These are some of the attributes considered when selecting counselors:

Past counselor performance for returning counselors
Number of years attended as a camper and/or counselor
KYS experience
Age (we would like an mix of 16, 17 and 18+ year old counselors)
Special talents or skills. E.g. Knowledge of Hinduism, dancing or singing, Red cross certifications
Flexibility – ability to attend either session

Counselors are expected to get to camp before their training starts and to attend the full session of camp and leave one day after their session is complete. If you are interested, contact Aanand Parthasarathi. Please apply as early as possible.
