About
our counselors:
Our summer counselors come from overseas. We currently use
two organizations, Camp America and the YMCA, who do the recruiting
and thorough background screening of staff. Ages range from
18 and up. Most of these dedicated individuals may be studying
to be physical therapists, social workers, and medical area
pursuits such as nursing or doctors. Some have siblings or
other relatives who have physical or developmental disabilities.
Just about all have a background exposure in working with a
disability. It takes a very special commitment since counselors
are on duty 24 hours a day for the entire time while campers
are here.
A percentage of our staff return for several summers making
our base strong. One of our dorm directors is coming back for
his fourth season.
