Our Staff
We believe that any camp is only as good as its people. We select only the finest counselors to guide
and care for our campers. Our overall staff-to-camper ratio of 1 to 3 ensures that campers receive
the individual attention they deserve. The average age of our counseling staff is 21 years old.
We hire young teachers and mature college and graduate students, many of whom are education
or recreation majors, from around the world. We have 3 to 4 counselors living with campers in each cabin.
Each year we receive over 1800 applications and select fewer than 10% of the applicants to serve on our staff.
Each counslor is dedicated to making our campers' experience enjoyable and memorable. Campers establish
enduring friendships with their counselors that last a lifetime.
