Camp counselors often gain experience in leadership, teamwork, communication, and problem-solving skills; likewise, staff members often have the opportunity to participate in a wide variety of activities, such as swimming, hiking, canoeing, and campfires, as well as special events and trips.

Many counselors and staff members form strong bonds with their fellow staff members & with the campers. They also have the opportunity to learn new skills and experience personal growth. Being in a natural setting also provides an opportunity for a break from technology & daily routine and an opportunity to recharge and enjoy nature.

Camp counselors, young and bold,
Bringing laughter, joy, and stories untold.
Guiding campers through the day,
Making memories that will never fade away.

In the sun and in the rain,
They lead games, arts, and outdoor terrain.
With a smile and a song in their heart,
They make each camper feel like they are part.

They are teachers, friends, and guides,
With a passion for the great outdoors, they reside.
Helping campers grow and learn,
Making the summer an unforgettable turn.

So here’s to the counselors, the ones who care,
Bringing magic to the summer air.
With memories that will last a lifetime,
Thanks to the camp counselors, it’s all just fine.
