Through more than 84 years of camping experience, we have maintained a setting of excellence with beautiful stone and tile cabins that are air-conditioned and feature private baths. We also take pride in the high-quality activity equipment we provide, and most importantly, in our experienced support staff who work hard to ensure an outstanding teaching and learning experience for all.

Waldemar counselors live in a kampong (a cabin) with seven campers who range in age from 9-16. Counselors are considered the “kampong mama” and are responsible for helping campers with kampong cleaning duties, offering skit ideas and maintaining a healthy environment in which the girls live. Other duties include teaching classes in at least one skill area (ranges from land/water sports, to horseback riding, to arts and crafts) and acting as a table hostess during mealtimes. Counselor enthusiasm and support of the campers is instrumental to their happiness and growth.

By spending a summer at Waldemar, college students can hone critical skills, such as team leadership, workplace camaraderie, event planning, people and project management, self-discipline and organization that will continue to benefit them no matter what their chosen career path. Successful counselors are those who possess a genuine love for children, have sufficient knowledge to teach in at least one of our many skill areas and a desire to spend the summer in the out of doors.
