Our hard working staff, which holds to the traditional Judeo-Christian values, come with backgrounds from many colleges and different churches throughout the country. They are selected on the basis of their camp skills, love of people, sense of responsibility and their joy in sharing God's love with others. The waterfront program is carefully supervised by Red Cross Water Safety Instructors. Registered nurses are on 24 hour duty at the camp infirmary. A pediatrician's office is on the camp grounds.
Pediatric care is available at all times.
