Staff

Counselors

Camp counselors are 18+ or 17 and have gone though our Counselors in Training Program. Counselors must clear state required background checks before employment. Staff must attend a minimum of 1 week of staff training or equivalent. We look for staff who have previous experience caring for children, have a love for the outdoors and can keep up with the long physically active camp day. Camp is a great fit for those who can teach their hobbies, are looking to learn new skills and have a positive mentality.

We offer on site training to lifeguards, high ropes, archery and other programs. Staff are expected to lead and assist with all programs on camp. 

We frontload that prospective staff should understand the responsibility to care for others children. Keeping them safe and having a positive experience is a large responsibility and not to be pursued without that understanding.
