We take every child seriously, trying to look beyond outward behavior to what's underneath, and have a genuine interest in each child as a unique individual. We supervise the children closely to insure that the freedom of one child is not license to inhibit the freedom of another. We enter into the activities but are careful not to dominate them. Instead we try to develop a sense of security in the natural world where order, beauty, and peace predominate. Camp could not be a better place to live a healthier lifestyle on our 350 acres of mountains, streams, fields, woods, and farm.
Rest is important in that healthy, happy equation that results in patience, alertness and optimism.
Camp is highly organized. Much of that organization depends on you as a counselor leading children in activities and in the everyday routines of camp. We insure that the children participate in decisions but organize the alternatives, so that the group is doing activities right from the beginning. We never do for a child what they can do for themselves. We must act as parents attending to matters of the personal hygiene of campers and general cabin cleanliness.
