Walt Whitman takes pride in providing mature, professionally trained, fun and motivated staff. We employ numerous teachers and coaches with extensive experience working with children. Our cabin counselors are all college-age and have significant prior experience working with children. We personally interview every staff member, and we take pride in the rigor of our interview process. Staff members must have excellent references, impressive experience working with children and a willingness to dedicate their summer to the care and supervision of our campers.
In addition, we conduct national background checks and sex offender checks on all staff members before they arrive at camp.
