2019 Counselor Application

Please completely fill-out this application to assist us in reviewing your Counselor Application.

We have limited space available and applications are not accepted until fully completed.

After submitting this application, you will be contacted by a Head Counselor who will notify you regarding the status of your application. If you do not hear within two weeks of submitting your application, please contact headcounselors@campcasey.org.

New counselor applicants who attend our picnic on Saturday, May 18th, 12:00pm to 2:00pm will be given priority. If you are unable to attend the picnic you will be contacted for an interview or alternative group camper/counselor activity which can take the place of the picnic. The picnic is a fun interactive way to experience the Casey spirit and serves as an “interview in action."

Once you have received your confirmation email, confirming your acceptance as a counselor for Kiwanis Camp Casey, you will receive information about the three counselor training sessions, scheduled the three Monday evenings before camp. While we prefer you can attend all three sessions, please communicate any conflicts to your Head Counselors so they can make alternative arrangements for your training.

If anything regarding the information you provided between now and the start of camp changes, please, ASAP, contact headcounselors@campcasey.org . Last minute counselor cancellations can cause great hardship for the safety and planning for camp. Please understand you are making a commitment that will be life-changing for you and the campers you will be serving.
Will you be between the ages of 15 and 26 years old on July 18th, 2019?*
- Yes
- No
Due to the popularity and accommodations for counselors, we have to limit the number of counselors to those between the ages of 15 and 26 years old at the time of camp.

We regret to inform you, based on your age we cannot accept your application as a counselor for Kiwanis Camp Casey. Though a most rewarding experience, Kiwanis Camp Casey demands maturity, is a physically exhausting experience and our campers enjoy interacting with age like peers. However, if you are younger than 16 we do encourage you to volunteer at our May picnic or explore volunteering for Seattle Adaptive Sports or the Crew.

Seattle Adaptive Sports or Seattle Adaptive Sports - The Crew Youth Social both experiences will give you wonderful opportunities meeting our Casey campers and better prepare you if you decide to reapply as a counselor when you turn 16 or older.

If you are older than 26 years of age we encourage you to consider joining North Central Seattle Kiwanis

If you have any questions or concerns please email director@campcasey.org
