Letter from the Lavensons

If we are lucky enough to work together you will join a team of men and women who have been influencing the growth and development of children's lives since 1907. Many of our staff return each summer, some for as many as 35 and 40 years. Needless to say it is an incredibly fun and engaging experience and becomes a focal point for the lives of the faculty as much as it is for the children who come to our various programs.

The following information outlines our priorities in selecting staff and is intended to help you determine whether Kennebec's Maine Golf Academy offers the type of work experience in which you are interested and for which you are suited. Please give this material careful consideration. Camp is a very concentrated, structured, and demanding experience for staff. Our campers are with us for anywhere from two to eight weeks and our responsibility to them during this time is a twenty-four hour a day job! These children's parents expect and trust us to give complete dedication and attention to their son's or daughter's needs so as employers, Kennebec expects the same from each employee.

The most important aspect of being a counselor is the relationship you develop with the campers. The atmosphere you and your CO-counselors create can often determine the kind of experience each camper has. We take great care in creating and organizing the daily activities, the evening programming, and the cabin assignments with this in mind and we, therefore, will work as hard with you to place you where you, too, will be most happy, comfortable, valued, and valuable.

We will be checking your references! We will ask about your ability to work with children, your experience in the area of your interest, your work habits, manner, personality, flexibility, creativity, and ability to work in a group as well as other factors we find important in creating a successful team for a great Kennebec summer.

Our goal, in every program, is to provide campers with the confidence to challenge themselves in their various adventures here and enjoy and feel successful in the very attempt. If this appeals to you please read through the following information, complete the Application Form and send it to us, and call with any questions you may have.

Sincerely,
