What to bring for the week


Each week the counselors make up an essential part of the staff at Foothill Horizons outdoor school. These volunteer high school and college students bring a dynamic energy and enthusiasm to our program along with a maturity and level of responsibility that ensures a safe and positive learning environment for the students.

It is both a challenging and rewarding experience. Before deciding whether you want to be a counselor at Foothill Horizons, ask yourself these questions:


Do enjoy working with children one-on-one and in groups?
Do you want to improve your leadership skills?
Do you enjoy the outdoors and natural science?
When you came to outdoor school as a 6th grader,
did you want to come back as a counselor?

If you answered yes to any of these questions, you may have what it takes to be an ideal counselor!
