We appreciate you taking the time to
fill this reference form out completely
and thoroughly. The applicant above has
applied for a position as a counselor
in our all girls’ camp. Your critical
appraisal and confidential evaluation
of this person will be of great help in
selecting our staff.
It is most important for leaders of young
girls to be of high ideals and energy,
possess a good work ethic, be attentive
to the needs of children, be a team player
and demonstrate a willingness to do more
than "his or her share".
A counselor’s summer involves living
and working with children between the
ages of 7 to 15 for seven weeks. A counselor
is with the children during the day teaching/instructing
and/or coaching specific activities. Nearly
all of our female staff sleeps in the
same cabin with a group of children at
night.
Because living with children is very
wearing, and because counselors live in
close proximity to the campers, the experience
is demanding. We would appreciate you
providing confidential information about
the applicant. We hope you will be quite
honest, straightforward and objective
so that we may avoid mistakes that could
result in a serious inconvenience for
us and perhaps termination for the employee.
