The  Red Oak Junior Counselor Leadership Program (JCLP) focuses on training young men and women in leadership, safety, and service, following American Camping Association and Red Oak Camp standards. The goal is to create responsible young counselors who may be able to work at our camp, or gain the experience necessary to work at other camps with Red Oak's recommendation.

This program is perfect for former Red Oak, Red Barn, or Chincapin Campers who want to continue to come to our camps, and who want to achieve a career path that could carry them through high school, college and beyond.

This day program is for young men and women ages 13 to 15.   Campers enrolled in this program may also participate in our Water Rocks Trail Program at a modified rate.  

The JCLP is a mixture of fun and learning.  Participants have a chance to be campers again, and work to master Red Oak's many activities, such as archery, canoeing, climbing and challenge course, fishing, outdoor cooking, nature science, and riflery    JCLP Participants will also get a chance to work with our adult staff and campers at Red Barn and Chincapin, and learn how to prepare and run camp activities.
