Roughing It is a family tradition for the Woods and thousands of families in the Bay Area. The Woods work full time throughout the year at Roughing It and are available at all times to speak with camper families. Roughing It has become a family tradition for us. Carefully Selected 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.
