Learn skills for working with people that will easily transfer to all your future jobs. Meet people from across the US and foreign countries and make friendships that last a lifetime. All staff work as general counselors and live in a platform tent or cabin with a small group of boys. In addition, each staff works as a specialist in two or more activities during our two activity periods each day. Spending time with campers in less formal settings is also an important part of the work of each staff person.
All staff go on extended overnight canoe or hiking trips at least once per month.
There are also day trips and special events. Wilderness First Aid, CPR and Small Craft Safety are all required for all staff and no bonus is given for these. Courses in these are given during staff training week.
