Many members and friends of our congregation are very familiar with Unirondack, the UU camp located in Lowville. In addition to their usual programming, each summer Unirondack brings in a variety of outside resource people to deliver unique morning programs to campers. And they are looking for help!
If you have a skill or gift to share, check out the description below and contact Program Director Caleb Seguin to learn more.
Responsibilities of a resource person include:
- Plans for five 90-minute sessions of original programming on ANY topic (possibilities are endless so think outside the box).
- The program should have a coherent theme tying all of the days together, and there should be an objective to either help the campers learn something or complete a project.
- Programming should be suitable for a group of about 60 campers with varying interests (so a variety of activities or a variety of ways to participate is ideal).
Resource people will be provided with:
- Room and board for a week, including accommodation for family members or companions.
- Full use of camp facilities for the duration of the week.
- Full compensation for travel expenses.
- A budget to cover the expense of programming supplies.
- Access to full staff to aid in facilitation of program.
- Access to all camp resources and facilities to aid in facilitation of program.
So basically, in exchange for running a morning program, you get a free week of summer camp for yourself and anyone you bring along with you!
