Responsibilities

Camp is a non-stop, high paced, extremely fun environment. You will be required to do many tasks each day. Living in and supervising dorms means, for instance, waking up and folding your sheets and blankets just like the campers do, the expectation is for you to lead by example.  The following is a list of some basic camp responsibilities:

• Run one of the various camp activities
