Cabin Mentors

 

The Cabin Mentor program is designed to give Junior and Senior High School youth, ages 17 and up, an opportunity to gain the skills and experience necessary for a future 4-H summer program staff position and provide overall night time cabin supervision.

Cabin mentors will support and mentor camp counselors and campers in meeting their responsibilities.

Cabin mentors are instrumental in developing a "team" atmosphere in their cabin and program group.

Cabin mentors are scheduled as needed throughout the 4-H camping season and will receive an honorarium for their service.
(The Nebraska 4-H Camps are Equal Opportunity Employers and you do not need to be in 4-H to apply)

Objectives of Cabin Mentors:

  • Provide youth and "older" camp counselors with an opportunity to further their camp leadership experience.
  • Build leadership, communication and other desirable life skills.
  • Provide night time cabin supervision and assist camp counselors in leading a group of campers throughout the day.
  • Build confidence, independence, responsibility and other desirable character traits.
  • Give young adults the opportunity to grow from a job well done. To gain personal growth, wider interests, new skills, and a new appreciation of friendship and leadership.
