Summer camp is not a vacation for staff. While there are delightful moments, personal benefits, and financial compensation, it must be understood that a staff position at Hamman Ranch means hard work, long hours and definite responsibility. Also, all counselors and activity assistants are expected to work the entire summer unless prior arrangements are made. Criticism of the camp equipment, management, program, food or policies in the presence of campers is inappropriate. Staff members are expected to take their troubles and grievances to the leadership staff.
Helpful suggestions are always welcome.
There is no place for questionable ideals, vulgar or profane language, smutty stories, pessimism or poor sportsmanship. No body piercings are allowed, except earrings on females. Management must reserve the right to pass judgement on issues of personal appearance. This includes the use of chewing tobacco. Staff agree to abstain from the use of these substances entirely during the term of their summer employment.
