We are currently in the process of planning camp and recruiting potential counselors.

Date of Camp: August 8-12, 2012

Location: TBA – somewhere in southern California.

Time commitment: Saturday afternoon trainings from mid-June to camp

 

Website for additional info and counselor application: www.lidcamp.org

 

Being a counselor at camp is a great opportunity to connect with the Taiwanese American community and give back. Counselors will through 8 weeks of training and have an active part of organizing camp. In addition to leading a group of campers, counselors help create workshops that span a variety of topics, including Taiwanese culture, personal identity, and a lot of team-building activities.

Camp is truly is exactly what you make of it. As the backbone of camp, counselors are responsible for multiple facets of camp. Not only is it a very rewarding experience, it’s excellent leadership building skills. Past counselors have gone on to take leadership roles in the Taiwanese American community, such as being founding members of all the TASAs in California. The counselor/staff team is a unique group of individuals, that I personally love working with. Therefore, I truly believe that camp is something that needs to be shared with everyone.

We encourage you to forward this information to not just the ITASA network, but also any friends you think might be interested in being a counselor.

Please note, potential counselors that commit to the program must attend all meetings, which are in southern California. Housing will not be provided, though transportation to and from meetings could be arranged.
