Our staff is carefully selected on the basis of their experience, education, training, leadership ability and interpersonal skills. Each staff member participates in a week long pre-camp training period in preparation for the arrival of campers. Our primary focus is health and safety while meeting the program needs of your child. Cabin counselors are 18 years of age or older, and are supported by CIT's and assistant counselors who are 16 and 17. Many of our staff members have grown up at North Woods and Pleasant Valley.
International staff add a unique flavor and experience for everyone at camp.
While recollections of camp activities and the surroundings never fade, what every child will remember most is the people. Memories of the cabin mate who became a lasting friend or the counselor who took the time to care, talk through a problem or share a laugh will continue for a lifetime.
