The fine adult college age staff we hire each summer is the key difference between Roughing It and other summer programs. We are proud of each and every staff member and take special care in the recruitment, selection, screening and training of our staff. These fine individuals serve as an exceptional role model for our campers. All Adult Staff bring experience, safety, fun and education to Roughing It. The high caliber of adult counselors recruited each year contribute greatly to the success of Roughing It.
All applicants go through rigorous interviewing and reference checks.
The entire Roughing It Staff are excellent role models and mentors for children. They are responsible for the safety, supervision, leadership and planning part of the daily program. There are additional Program Counselors for horseback riding, swimming, boating, fishing, crafts, sports and outdoor adventure. All counselors are supervised by older Camp Administrators , including Ann and Hobie, who have had many seasons of camp experience. All staff members participate in intensive 6-day staff training.
