HOW LONG IS CAMP?
Camp runs for 5 weeks out of the summer but staff are required to come to camp for staff training. There is also the possibility of staff having the opportunity to come before camp starts or extending their stay at the post camp to help with rental groups.
WHERE ARE STAFF MEMBERS FROM?
We staff our camp with people from all over the world. We have staff members from Europe, Africa, South America, and of course right here in the United States.
WILL I GET DAYS OFF?
You will have a day off every week as well as other time off during each day.
WILL I NEED TO DO BACKGROUND CHECKS?
Background checks are required. You can find what checks you need as well as instructions to complete them on your staff profile once you have been hired.
WHAT IS THE WEATHER LIKE AT CAMP?
Weather can be very mixed. Our camp is located in Pennsylvania, so we see all types of weather here. Days can be very hot, and nights can get cold so bring a range of clothing. You also might see some rain so bring a rain jacket.
WHAT SHOULD I PACK?
Go check out our packing list to see what we recommend packing for camp.
WHAT KIND OF TRAINING WILL I GET?
We do a week of staff training that will cover topics of first aid, counselor expectations, activity training, camper behaviors, and much more.
WHAT DO I DO FOR LAUNDRY?
We have laundry available at camp. We also supply your laundry detergent and dryer sheets, so you won’t have to worry about supplying your own.
HOW DO I GET TO CAMP?
Once you are hired with camp, we will work with you to establish a plan to get you into camp.
Locals are more than welcome to drive and keep their car at camp.
International staff will make plans to fly into a nearby airport where we will arrange transportation to bring you to camp. International staff are responsible for covering the costs of their transportation to camp.
