Every counselor is given six days off for the summer, as well as one day off during orientation. Matoaka is not a uniform camp however, we do require all staff to purchase a minimum amount of staff clothing. Counselors are permitted to wear clothing that is appropriate for the activity they are teaching. Staff are expected to be role models and set a proper example. Excessive tattoos and body piercing are frowned upon.
Most female staff live with the campers in the cabins.
The cabins are spacious and modern, all are equipped with electricity, smoke detectors and fire extinguishers, and full bathroom facilities. It doesn't get any better. We have spent a considerable amount of time perfecting our menus to make them fun and nutritious. We have fruit, salad, sandwich, and a hot pasta bar as an alternative available at lunch and dinner. Most of our staff leave with a few extra pounds due to the excellent meals and the abundance of it.
