Cabin Staff Qualities and Responsibilities Our Cabin Counselors are the heart and soul of the camp staff. We look for counselors who are caring, enthusiastic and have a genuine concern for children. We need responsible young adults to serve as role models for our campers. Our goal is to have a staff that mirrors our camper population. Many of our staff has diabetes.
Counselors are responsible for the overall well being of each camper.
Counselors accompany campers to each activity, and participate with the campers. During orientation, our cabin staff learns how diabetes affects the body, how to check blood sugars and how to watch for signs of high or low blood sugar levels to complement our professional diabetes staff. All CIT candidates are carefully screened based on maturity, commitment and how responsibly they manage their diabetes. The purpose of our CIT Program is to teach leadership, behavior management and counseling skills to aspiring counselors. CITs help counselors ensure the health and safety of campers, and make certain campers have an enjoyable experience.
