Point O' Pines believes that counselors should represent interesting and diverse backgrounds and bring something special to the camp community. Counselors are hired either for a specialty area or as a general counselor. A general counselor lives in each cabin for girls going into 5th grade and below. They are responsible for being with the campers throughout their day and responding to immediate needs. They take the campers from activity to activity but do not teach the activity.
Medical staff consists of a doctor and three registered nurses that live on the property.
They triage campers and staff when they are ill and when necessary, refer them to specialists and labs for X-rays etc. They dispense medication as needed and communicate all medical concerns to Jim and Sue and the parents of campers. Dining room and kitchen staff consists of professionals responsible for preparing and serving meals to the campers and staff. For the most part, the kitchen staff comes with culinary school and restaurant experience. Our philosophy with respect to meals is that great food keeps a happy group of campers in the correct frame of mind to maximize their enjoyment of the summer.
