Staff
Our staff is a carefully selected group of highly qualified individuals who are passionate about working with youth in a camp environment. Staff members are trained to assist in the development of self-confidence, cooperation, personal growth, and environmental awareness.
Collectively, the staff can confidently provide instruction and facilitation in:
Arts and craft projects, Canoeing, Challenge course facilitation, Environmental education, Group games, Kayaking, Leave No Trace principles, Lifeguarding, Mountain biking, Rock climbing, and Stand-up paddle boarding
Small group sizes allow counselors to provide individual attention in a group setting. All our staff are certified in first aid and CPR. Additionally, adventure and teen venture counselors are certified in wilderness first aid or wilderness first responder, while junior lifeguard counselors have Red Cross lifeguard training. The emotional and physical well-being of our campers is our top priority.
