The Character Kids Club/Community Outreach Leadership Training Program is an opportunity for our Fox C-6 students entering 7th, 8th or 9th grade to apply for a chance to work with younger children attending the Character Kids Club summer camps. 

The Character Kids Club Leadership Trainee will be taught leadership and job skills as they relate to caring for children participating in CKC programming. The trainee will be under the supervision of a Character Kids Club team member at all times. The trainee will demonstrate what is learned, by leading activities, assisting staff members, and assisting the children in the program. 

The training program will allow chosen candidates to build confidence, gain experience on how to apply, interview and take on an employment opportunity. Each chosen candidate will work with a supervisor and a team of staff members at a particular camp. Camp assignments are typically based on the candidate’s interests. Our camps will be located at Rockport Elementary.

This program typically requires a three week commitment. We intend to offer camp from July 7-31, 2025. The training program, if selected, costs $115.00 per week of participation for a total of $345.00 for the summer. The trainee will receive a T-Shirt, name badge, and participate in daily activities and field trips with the entire camp team. The trainees are allowed to be dropped off as early as 6:45 am and stay as late as 5:30 pm to help working parents who may not be available to drop off or pick up during the trainee’s program hours of 8:00 am-3:30 pm. 

Requirements for any Fox C-6 student entering into 7th, 8th or 9th grade to be considered for acceptance, the following application, one letter of recommendation, and a one page, double spaced, "Why I want to be a Leadership Trainee" essay must be uploaded. Deadline for all applicants is Friday, May 9, 2025.
