With the return of more summer camps this summer, many organizations nationally are navigating a smaller labor pool to fill positions.  Locally, the Door County YMCA is currently trying to find counselors for its three programs in the area.  School Age Director Trisha Salenius says she is looking to fill four to five positions for Camp Compass alone.  She shares the details on filling the counselor positions that would allow more children to participate this summer after school is out.

Salenius notes that a history of working with children is helpful, and anyone interested in becoming a teacher can gain valuable experience by being a camp counselor.  You can find more information on being a counselor at Otumba Camp, the Trekker program at the Fish Creek location, and Camp Compass at the Lansing Center in Sturgeon Bay at the Door County YMCA website.  The complete interview with Trisha Salenius is available on the “Y Wednesday” podcast at DoorCountyDailyNews.com here.
