If you or someone you love is a lifeguard and is 21 or older, Camp Bunn is in need of a waterfront supervisor. Sessions are the weeks of June 14, 21 and July 5. If you can attend National Camping School the week of May 30, that would be a huge plus! Contact the camp director at [email protected] for more details.
