Can a 12 year old be a camp counselor?

Typically, a 12-year-old may not be eligible to be a camp counselor due to age requirements and necessary experience. Many camps prefer counselors to be at least 16 years old or have completed specific training. However, some camps may have junior counselor programs for younger teens, allowing them to assist and gain experience under the supervision of adult counselors. It's best to check with specific camps for their policies.
