27 Our staff members are high school and college-age young adults that have a passion for working with children. We also have many adults who work in education during the school year and spend their summers with us. We hire mainly from the local communities in Litchfield, Fairfield, and New Haven Counties.
Our staff members undergo reference and background checks as well as an extensive training program prior to working with campers. Staff training covers important topics such as first aid, childhood development, and bullying prevention. Some of our staff, such as lifeguards, high ropes counselors, and archery counselors participate in additional, activity-specific training. We also have a nurse on site to attend to your child’s medical needs while at camp.
Campers transition to becoming staff members by completing our 2 year CIT program, then spending a year as a Junior Counselor. Our Counselor-In-Training program allows 14 and 15 year olds to build their leadership and counseling skills.
