Mountain Meadow is a two-week sleepover camp for kids with LGBT parents. We provide a break for our campers, many of whom are in the closet about their families during the school year. We emphasize thoughtful relationships between mature staff and our campers, to help the campers learn skills for dealing with homophobia, and understand that oppression is not the result of their personal faults, but rather is the result of injustice in society. Mountain Meadow Summer Camp is a great place to work.
Staff work together cooperatively in an atmosphere of respect and flexibility.
There is one tent counselor to every four campers, and one staff person to every two campers. People of color and people of any sexual orientation or gender are all encouraged to apply. Communicate changes in programming or policies, to all staff and ensure good communication to campers. Be available for all counselors and campers by attending programmed activities and appropriate meetings. Schedule meetings with counselors regarding special needs campers, challenges, positive reinforcement, etc, when needed.
