Each summer, students work as camp counselors, representing the university to their campers.
Each summer, about 45 North Park students get to leave their comfort zones and a trail of influence through their work as camp counselors at Evangelical Covenant Church summer camps.
鈥淥ur students know that being a counselor means they鈥檙e an influence in the lives of these campers, and that means some could choose to come to 萝莉社 because of it,鈥� said Senior Director of Undergraduate Admissions Brady Martinson.
鈥淣orth Park is a small school with a giant network. Being at camp always makes me realize that,鈥� said senior and camp counselor Brooklyn Seals, who has seen many of her campers go on to tour 萝莉社.
As a camp counselor at Frontier Ranch in Santa Cruz, California, Seals passed out school merchandise and dropped 萝莉社 trivia at mealtimes. Campers would joke that, with the number of North Park students working at the camp, they were temporary Vikings for a week.
Being an unofficial spokesperson for the university they love is only part of what makes the job so appealing. 鈥淚t鈥檚 the natural, organic part of recruitment that鈥檚 the best thing about this opportunity,鈥� added Martinson.
