*Providing the information above is optional, yet it would be tremendously helpful if you did.  Because we are addressing issues of difference, it is essential that we have a diverse group of cabin counselors.  We not only strive for racial/ethnic diversity, but also for diversity of gender, socio-economic class, religion, culture, physical ability, personality, etc.  This information will be used only to determine this balance.
Please describe any other ways by which you identify yourself (such as socio-economic class, religion, culture, physical ability, sexual orientation, background, etc.) that you would like to share with us:

7. Please share a time when you experienced or witnessed prejudice or discrimination and how you dealt with the situation.
8. Describe what the word “multiculturalism” means to you.  Please answer this question as if you are speaking to a 10 or 11 year-old.
