Summer Camp needs

As summer gets closer, I ALWAYS have a few more needs... If you can help with this, lemme know!

I need 2 lifeguards....they must be able to swim and hold a lifeguard certification from the American Red Cross or be eligible to obtain it. DUH! One lifeguard will work at the pool, while the other will work at the waterfront...I like the waterfront the best, but the pool is cleaner than the Albemarle Sound.

I need 1 male cabin counselor...for the 2nd consecutive year, I have had 90% of summer staff hired before May...yes, this is impressive. I cannot help people want to work here...It is a great place. If you wanted to work here, and the desired position was filled, then you can check with our competition...they always have openings, probably because: (a) The Eastern 4-H Center got all the good staff first, or (2nd) nobody wants to work anywhere other than the Eastern 4-H Center.

If you know anyone that might be interested, can you please tell them to contact me by: email (chase_luker@ncsu.edu), phone (252.797.4800), or cell phone (252.394.6093). I can send them an application and determine whether or not they are cut out for a hard/hot/fun summer.

I also need some more campers to register for Camp Canvasback, Marine Science and Sailing, and Cloverbud. Camp Canvasback and Marine Sci & Sailing are available to 12-17 year olds, while Cloverbud is open to 5-8 year olds. Our other camps are basically filled to the brim with 8-12 year olds...If you have a 9 year old that wants to go to camp, check with our competitors...they always have openings when we are full...wonder why? We can still wait list your potential camper, though if you dare not risk another eastern North Carolina summer camp. For descriptions of these camps go to www.eastern4hcenter.org - you will also find prices and dates.

I also need some paper archery targets...about 5 of them. I need them to be 3.5' by 3.5'. They are expensive, so if anyone has a good source for these, let me know.

I also need more sleep in the summer, but I conceded that a while ago.

Enjoy your Thursday.
