Summer Camp Staff FAQ

List of 4 frequently asked questions.

  • What is a typical day like?

    Counselors move from activity to activity with their groups. All activities are run by a specialist and counselors are there to assist the specialists and make sure campers are having fun.

    Specialists have a designated space where they meet with each group at various times during the week. There is also time for planning and collaboration with other specialists.
