Who will be teaching the activities?

All counselors are professional teachers. All activity leaders are certified in that field. Real coaches, real artists! Our counselors undergo a thorough interview with over 10 teachers interviewed per staff opening. Our counselors come from different schools across the area with a variety of experiences. Some are public school teachers, some private or parochial, some are parents, some are recent graduates.

All of our staff must have background checks and most are CPR certified. Our staff of specialists (tennis, soccer, lifeguard, art, dance) are college age or older. They come from a pool of the best coaches and specialists available. All of our staff must demonstrate an ability to relate to children in a positive way and enjoy working with children. Most of our staff have been with us for years, which shows that they enjoy the camp and what they do.

How many campers will be in my child’s group?
Approximately 10-15 campers of the same age and gender. Our kindergarten group is mixed gender. Campers are placed in a group based on their upcoming year in school.

What to Pack for Camp:
Campers should bring a bag lunch (if not purchasing one from the cafeteria), a water bottle, a towel, sunscreen, and goggles if necessary. We suggest an extra swimsuit and set of clothing for our youngest campers.
