CHRISTIAN ASSOCIATION ASKED TO FILL MANY CAMP JOBS
April 1921

This year, as in preceding years, the Christian Association has received numerous calls for men to take counsellor positions in various summer camps. The camps requesting men are of two types, those managed by the Young Men's Christian Association and those run by private individuals.

The calls which have been received are mainly from the Christian Association camps. Every year a large number of boys, generally from the poorer sections of the large cities, are taken to these camps for a few weeks. This has been made possible in the past largely because groups of college men through the country have volunteered their services as counsellors. As the camps are run for the poorer boys no charges are made and therefore it is not possible to pay salaries to the counsellors. However, counsellors will be put to no expense in getting to and from camp or while they are in camp.

Opportunity has been offered by private camps for a few men to take positions as counsellors with all expenses paid and in some cases there is an extra compensation of from $50 to $75 for the summer.
