Our staff is the most crucial part of a positive and successful summer for our students and campers. Our teachers, camp counselors, and program directors are carefully selected young men and women who are dedicated to working with children and have the ability to serve as outstanding role models. Experienced teachers and camp counselors provide classroom and recreational activity instruction, overall supervision of dormitories, and an interactive campus life environment. We hire energetic teachers from local school districts, recent college graduates, and teachers from our academic year school.

Camp counselors are hired through US universities and colleges, on-line camp placement websites and international camp counselor agencies. All faculty and staff undergo a comprehensive interview process including a background check, reference checks, and drug screening. Our staff enjoys solid support and invaluable training to enable them to be their best for our students and campers.

All staff members attend an intense staff orientation which emphasizes counseling/teaching skills, group dynamics, safety procedures, and activity/classroom management skills. CPR certification is also required during orientation. Security and medical personnel are on campus 24 hours a day.
