Join Our Staff!
Campers' health and safety is our primary concern. Nurturing, well-trained staffs provide excellent care. We're enthusiastic about selecting top quality direct care staff with a primary dedication to make a positive difference in the quality of our campers' lives. Majors in the following fields represent students with a commitment to enhance the development of our campers: Psychology, Special Education, General Education, Social Work, Speech Therapy, Language Development, Reading Specialist, Music, Dance and Art Therapy, Occupational, Physical and Recreation Therapy; other majors are considered. Interviews are conducted after we receive your staff application. We assemble a dynamic and versatile staff community to enrich a child's stay at camp. Professionals in camping and related fields of education and therapy services train counselors in an informative one-week pre-camp orientation. Camper files are studied by counselors to help them prepare to address the social, emotional and behavioral needs of each camper in their group, which leads to a fun-filled and meaningful summer.Bunk counselors attend all programs with their campers, sleep in the same cabin with them and sit together with their campers during meals, providing 24-hour supervision.
Counselor to camper ratio is 1:3. Extra supervision may be assessed based on a camper's needs and involves extra weekly charges for additional staff salary fees.
Members of various psychological and medical specialties serve as consultants to the camp in meeting specific needs of our campers and staff.
All staff, American and International, are carefully screened before their acceptance at camp.
