Agency’s Mission Statement
To advance parks, recreation, and environmental conservation efforts that enhance the quality of life for all Greenville citizens.
Agency’s Goals and Programs offered to Clients/People Served
The goals of the program for which I currently have training, which is required for me to become a junior camp counselor, are to develop leadership skills and cooperation needed as a counselor and become familiar with CPR.
(The goals of the camps I am a junior camp counselor for: )
- Jaycee Jamboree Day Camp Session 2 Outdoor Expedition: Campers will discover the great outdoors by land and sea. Learn about the wildlife in our region, explore the water through swimming and canoeing, and see different sights around eastern NC.
- Jaycee Jamboree Day Camp Session 8 All Stars: Campers will not only go to a minor league baseball game, but they will enjoy a week filled with traditional sports such as basketball, flag football, golf, and nontraditional sports such as disc golf, ultimate Frisbee, and more.
There might also be 2 dance camps at which I will be a junior camp counselor. The goals of those are for kids to “travel” the world learning dances from across the globe and explore creative dance, make scrapbooks, learn dance terms and dances worldwide.
