Select one response that best describes your interest in working with Bridging Hands Camps*

I am familiar with the Washington, D.C. area

I was a Deaf/KODA camper myself

I have experience working with Deaf and/or KODA children in camps

I genuinely enjoy working with youth in any setting, but especially in the outdoors

I had a great experience as a camper or participant in an outdoor program, and I think this is a good next step for me

I've never done anything like this before, but it looks great!

Which statement best describes your leadership style with youth and among peers?*

I like to lead by example, I'm not a vocal leader but I will speak up if necessary.

I like to take charge and run the show. My co-leader can have some input, but I usually know how I want to do things right from the start.

I'm an authoritative leader, I work better without a co-leader and I have no problem keeping everyone in line.

I think of myself as a facilitator, I put everyone in a position to succeed and the rest is up to them.

I'm an active leader, if someone has a hard time climbing a route I'll get up on the wall and show them how it's done.
