Our Seasonal Staff
At the heart of a great camp is a dedicated, experienced and enthusiastic staff. We recruit responsible, respectful, hard working, mature and motivated individuals who display a clear understanding of camp’s core values. Staff must be minimally high school graduates and are interviewed and references/background checks undertaken before they can begin employment. In addition, all staff attend a one week intensive orientation training at camp . During the summer, we provide ongoing feedback, formal and informal supervision, mid-season evaluations and staff forums. Many staff are ex-campers who have grown up with us and ensure that our values and traditions permeate the current season.
