Would I be accepted??

[Dancerofthenight]

I'm currently 20 years old and in my second year of university. I've wanted to go to Camp America for a long time but I'm not sure if I'd get accepted. I've been looking to go after I finish my degree, i.e. in 2012. I've been dancing since I was five- I did ballet until I was 17 and I'm still doing modern jazz at the moment. I've also been doing recreational cheerleading for the past 2 years but since it's only recreational, we don't do too much difficult stuff. I also played hockey for 6 years but again only recreationally. I've done things like kayaking, camping, high ropes, low ropes, rock climbing, etc but not to a big extent... I really like children and I have quite a bit of childcare experience.

Would I be able to be accepted on any of these skills? Or if not, which ones would be the best to get more experience in over the next 2 years?

Camps need counsellors with all types of skills - some are in more demand than others. Camps are held June - August (approx) each year which is the American summer so therefore outdoor skills are highly sought after - waterfront (waterskiing, kayaking, sailing, lifeguarding etc), pioneering skills such as hiking, camping and other outdoor skills such as rock climbing, rope courses, horse riding, archery, riflery etc. The ideal age range is around 20-28. If you are looking at going in 2012, you have plenty of time to add to your current skills
