The week long programs begin when campers arrive on Sunday afternoons. Campers are then picked up on Friday at around 5:00. Each week we get a brand new group of campers. We have between 80 and 100 campers each week.

How Many Campers is a Counselor Responsible For?

Our program is a small-group-based model. “Family Groups” are made up of 7 boys and 7 girls, a male and female co-counselor pair who do all their activities together, building a community and getting to know one another. There are nightly all- camp activities such as counselor hunt, pool party, campfire, etc. Each week counselors are assigned to different age groups and placed with different co-counselors.

Summer Staff are off duty from the end of staff meeting Friday evening until staff meeting on Sunday afternoon. Each night after dinner, during Pavilion Games staff assigned as cabin counselors have time off together. There is also a short break for the Fourth of July holiday.

Shorts, t-shirts, sneakers, sandals with a back straps - whatever makes you comfortable in the summer sun.

Summer Staff are expected to wear clothing that does not contain inappropriate language or promote alcohol, drugs, or tobacco products. While at the pool, male staff wears swim trunks, and female staff wear one-piece swimsuits.
