It's never too early to start

We are seeking students ages 15-18 for our Louisiana Children’s Museum 2019/2020 holiday camps (as well as weekend shifts and next year’s summer camps!)

Please distribute the attached application to your school and/or networks.  Let me know if you require additional information or a flyer, upon reviewing the details on the application.  

We have Thanksgiving camps Nov 25-27 and then a sprinkling of camps during December and January based on most school closures. We need 4-6 student volunteers per day to support our camp counselors.

All of the holiday camp dates are included in the application.  Students are also asked to tell us a bit about themselves and their skills and interests as well as provide information on any prior experience working with children.
