Complete this section if applying to be a Counsellor or Counsellor in Training. Campers have varying abilities and skills. It is helpful to us if you would give us a sense what type of Camper you would like to develop a friendship with; for example you might be matched with a highly active, non-verbal, Camper, or a non-active, verbal Camper, or a highly social, non-mobile Camper. What kind of friend would you like to have for the week? We will attempt to peer match you with a Camper that has the characteristics you choose.
