First and foremost it's about having fun. It provides about 90 boys and girls ages 9 through 12 an opportunity to spend a week away from home getting to know other kids from around our county. Campers will be broken down into groups of about eight boy or girls. Each group is assigned a counselor, jr. counselor and adult advisor. They will spend the week together hiking, swimming, singing, dancing, canoeing, learning new arts & crafts projects, learning about nature and entertaining each other. Secondly it's about leadership. Our camp is planned and operated by a group of about 25 young ladies and gentlemen ages 14 through 19. These folks must make application and be interviewed each January. The successful candidates will spend the next eight months planning summer camp. Once camp begins they will operate every aspect of the camp. Each team of two counselors will have as many as 8 campers in their care. They will be responsible for getting everybody up and dressed in the morning, getting them to meals, entertaining them throughout the day and getting them to bed at night. All without the aid of a single TV set. Most of our counselor staff started as campers. The role of the 15 adult advisors is to supervise the welfare of everyone. |
