Staff Reference Form
This applicant has applied for a position on our summer staff at Camp Cobbossee and has listed you as a reference. We would appreciate your assistance in evaluating his/her candidacy. Camp work is challenging and counselors must be able to relate effectively to children, adult supervisors and college-age peers. A staff member must be a great role model for our boys and be able to live within community standards, such as a nightly curfew. We are looking for mature young adults who love children, are spirited and fun and approach their responsibilities seriously.
Founded in 1902, Camp Cobbossee is the “home away from home” for 150 boys during each of our two sessions. Camp Cobbossee is located in Monmouth, Maine, 15 miles west of the capital, Augusta, and approximately one hour north of Portland. Our camp is set on almost a mile of shoreline on magnificent Lake Cobbosseecontee, which is eleven miles long and six miles across. The countryside surrounding Camp Cobbossee is made up of evergreen forests and many beautiful lakes, mountains, and national parks…providing the true Maine experience!
Male counselors live with a group of children between the ages of 7-15 and teach at a specific activity area. Parents entrust their children’s care to our staff and we are entrusting you with helping us determine whether this applicant is well suited for that role. Receiving this form as soon as possible helps us process the candidate’s application in a timely fashion.
Please do not hesitate to contact me with any questions or additional comments. Thank you in advance for your insight and assistance.
Regards,
Camp Cobbossee
