Cielo Marte, Director of Training, lists the top 10 benefits of being a Cub Camp Counselor!
1. Become a better leader
As a Cub Camp Counselor you will be in charge of facilitation a group of Freshmen and lead them through various Camp activities. They’ll be looking up to you as you help maneuver their first college experience and introduce them to the the U of H community. You’ll not only learn how to work with a team, but also to become a leader and take initiative in the many projects you’ll be creating.
And we don’t mean just because you’ll be pumped with adrenaline for three whole days. We’re talking about pushing yourself mentally, constantly learning from the different obstacles,lessons,and self-progression you’ll be making.
In Cub Camp, you’ll learn about your own communication, working, and leading style. You’ll learn about how you work with a team, as a leader, and how to improve on those skills.
4. Learn about your university
Did you know that the giant bell we ring after every Football touchdown had a name? Me neither. Learn about our wonderful bell Carol and our many Cougar traditions. As a Counselor, you’ll learn about our world-renowned faculty, tier-one programs, and many other benefits U of H has to offer!
If your Counselor experience was anything like mine, you’ll instantly gain 50 (or more!) of the coolest friends. That’s 50 (or more!) snapchat buddies, confidants, and partners-in-crime!
With Cub Camp, we’ll be your home away from home. The friends you’ll make at Cub Camp will last a lifetime!
The Counselor experience is filled with tons of laughter and learning. We guarantee that by the time you’re done with Camp, you’ll have hundreds of crazy stories and even more selfies to prove them!
For incoming freshmen, Cub Camp is the first step they take in their journey through college. These are their first steps towards independence, adulthood, and learning about themselves. Naturally, it can be a little tough. Your guidance in leading these students can lead a lifetime impact on how they approach the next four years. Trust me; your welcoming smiles and college advice creates the biggest difference.
Did I mention that you’ll be gaining friends? Making memories? Yeah, the cherry on top is the amount of fun you’ll be having. Seriously, there’s not a day in Cub Camp where the whole room isn't filled with laughter or smiles.
10. You’ll never be the same
Everybody’s journey is different. You’ll learn so much and have so many things to look back to that you’ll wonder why you didn't sign up sooner.Try it for yourself.
