The counseling internship program at Kabeyun is a perfect opportunity for older campers to expand their involvement with camp and to prepare for the challenges of joining the Kabeyun staff in the future. The deadline for applying is December 15.

Sixteen-year-old interns work closely with our counselors in activities and cabins, observing and being observed; teaching and co-teaching. These experiences are strengthened and focused through regular group meetings/workshops and individual conferences centering on counseling and teaching techniques, and group management skills. A veteran Kabeyun counselor is assigned as the intern supervisor – his primary responsibility is to the intern group.

The program length of seven weeks is designed to accommodate late summer commitments to school sports, preparation time for the academic year, or family plans that often seem to fall in August. There may be the opportunity to stay through the eighth week with no difference in tuition.

The size of the intern group will be limited to eight and we typically have more applicants than we are able to accept. Acceptance to the program is based on the quality of the letter of application along with our sense of his interest in investing himself in learning all the program seeks to teach.
