Positions
Our staff members serve as both Cabin Counselors and Activity Instructors. Two counselors live together in a cabin with eight campers who are in the same grade in school. Cabin Counselors are responsible for getting their campers ready for the day, and are there to greet them in the evening after the day's activities are over.

Swimming |
|
There are two or three positions available for Swimming instructors. Swimming is offered about 4 periods during our day. Our swim lake is fairly centrally located on our property. We have a diving board, slide, and lots of fun noodles and floaties for the campers to use. Some campers take swimming to improve or practice the skills that they have learned. Other campers take the free swim class, where they can play on all the fun swim stuff we have. Sometimes the campers are a little hesitant about jumping into the swim lake, but with a little encouragement, they have a great time!
