Our Staff
Our free camps are 100% run by volunteers, from directors to counselors to the camp nurse. The average camper to counselor ratio is 3:1, so each camper feels they have a personal connection with their counselors. Each counselor goes through orientation and training before the camp week begins.
The onsite nurse is available 24 hours a day with first aid and camper medications. Prescriptions are administered at scheduled times by the nurse. All administered first-aid, over-the-counter, and prescription medicines are recorded in the nurse’s logbook.
