We are located on over 600 acres of forested and somewhat hilly terrain, with a broad range of trees and wildlife, along with lakes, ponds, and streams. The temperatures during the summer typically range from the low 80’s into the high 90’s (Fahrenheit). We are prone to receive the occasional afternoon thunderstorm.

Counselors will live in cabins with a fellow counselor and 10-12 campers. Support staff and key leadership live in cabins or dormitory housing with other staff. Counselor cabins all have running water, toilet and shower facilities in each living area. Most support living quarters do as well, and the few that don’t have it readily accessible from a nearby cabin. Counselors will spend one night a session camping in the outdoors.

There is a staff lounge available during off times. It has a TV for watching movies, computers with internet access, and is generally a place to relax away from the campers. There is a designated smoking area near the staff lounge and is the ONLY place that smoking is permitted.

Before campers arrive we will be spending some time learning from each other, and strive to become a cohesive team, confident and ready to change the world! During this training week all of the basic’s regarding working at camp will be covered, and you will have ample opportunities to get to know the other staff and begin to forge the lasting friendships that are so important to the success of our program.

Each day during camp is very active and requires the expenditure of a great deal of energy from all of the staff. Any time you are on duty you are expected to be fully engaged in the tasks at hand. In order to maintain the level of excitement needed to work with campers every day, you are expected to get your rest at nights. You will also get 2 hours off each day and some extended time off each week to get away and get some rest, relax, and recharge.

We do have incoming and outgoing regular mail every day. (Except Sunday) Once hired we will give you the instruction to pass on to your friends and family to make certain you get your mail.

There are two computers located in the staff lounge that have internet access. If you wish to communicate with friends and family via E-mail during your off time, please provide them with an e-mail address that you can access via the World Wide Web. Be aware that because of the potential demand, time limits may apply to computer usage.

Staff need to provide their own bedding, either sheets and blankets or a sleeping bag. In an effort to aid international staff in traveling and packing, we are happy to provide our international staff with a pillow and a sleeping bag. We also will provide a short trip to Wal-Mart (a huge low cost general merchandise store) during training week to allow you to purchase any items you may have forgotten or decided you need.

We have laundry service available for international staff every two weeks and domestic staff may choose to use this service for a small fee. The service is reliable but not guaranteed. Therefore some staff prefer to go to a coin Laundromat during their off time. The choice is yours.

We are in the service of being exceptional role models for our campers. As such please be aware that outside of the pool area, bathing suits and very short shorts are not appropriate. Though we work hard and get very dirty from time to time, body odor is considered offensive, and routine personal hygiene is expected.

Do not brings things that would cause you to become very upset if they get lost or ruined. We value the cultural diversity international staff provide to our camp program and ask them to bring some items unique to your homeland, such as toys, food, trinkets, pictures etc., let allow others a chance to glimpse your culture.

Please bring an open mind, a sense of humor, your creativity, and a desire to make a positive impact on the lives of our campers, and literally change the world!
