These same groups also join with other charitable individuals to volunteer their time and talent to serve as camp staff.

Counselors

All counselors are volunteers. Some are Lions and Leos. Many are high-school and college students, teachers, friends, and former campers. The camper to counselor ratio is about 3:1. Background checks are conducted on all staff members 18 years and older.

Volunteers who stay the full week will earn a total of 80 community service hours.
