Staff members provide a stable and caring home for campers all summer long. Moreover, GFC staff can earn up to six free college credits from the University of Texas at Austin. There's no need to go to summer school. Classes are held two or three times a week a night, after the campers have gone to bed. Each year, we look for competent and energetic young adults to fill our staff positions.
Training is provided at the start of the summer season, and is ongoing throughout the summer.
We seek to insure that staff members have as great a time as our campers. Counselors live in bunks with our campers, and have the most direct influence on their summer experiences. Involved in every aspect of camp life, counselors strive to provide for the campers the best that camp has to offer. Specialists provide the bulk of the programming and activities that campers participate in during every day of their camp experience. Whether their experience is in Jewish education, creative programming, or in one of the 32 recreational activities that we offer regularly, specialist work to keep the camp going, and offer campers the chance to develop new skills and talents, thereby feeling even better about themselves.
