The criteria we use to select and screen our staff are based solely on experience, skill and character dimensions and in no way discriminate on the basis of race, age, sex, religion or disability. We do not have housing for our staff and staff must locate housing in the surrounding community. Most of our staff live at home for the summer with their family. Please call us before you apply if you have concerns with finding local housing. It involve close contact with children in a leadership role.

Group counselors provide feedback and prepare evaluations for camper parents and provide positive counseling and discipline to campers when necessary. These staff members instruct and supervise campers at one of the program areas.
