Summer Camp Counselors Wanted!
Counselors must be 21 years of age and pass a background check. All first-year applicants are interviewed by members of the Operations Team.
Counselor-In-Training Program, Ages 18-20
There is a counselor-in-training (CIT) program for those aged 18-20 who want to become full counselors but have not yet reached the age of 21 by camp. CITs are past campers who would like to learn about becoming a Summer Camp Counselor.
All volunteers must be up to date with COVID vaccinations per CDC guidelines.
CampDoc will email out reminders about items to bring to Camp.

We recommend:
- Comfortable clothing and gear for activities, like a jacket, swimsuit, and change of shoes
- Supplies such as sunscreen, bugspray and sunglasses are helpful
- Campers and counselors are expected to bring pillows, bedding and/or sleeping bags
- Food is not allowed in cabins – we want to discourage furry little friends from hanging out with campers.
- All medications, including over the counter medications and supplements, must be turned into the medical staff at registration.
- Campers and counselors should not bring anything of value, since items can be lost or damaged.
- Clothing should be appropriate for an all-ages camp.
