The Summer Staff

Our 4-H Camp Staff are from all over the globe. We seek out individuals who not only have the skills to successfully present materials to youth, but those with the natural ability to connect and bond with your children. We look for those who have natural tendencies toward: trustworthiness, respect, responsibility, caring, fairness, and citizenship. Staff are the heart of any camp, and our goal in hiring staff is to provide a safe, positive, and friendly environment for your child.


Our basic staff to camper ratio in the cabin is a minimum of 1:8. In most activities staff to camper ratio is 1:6.

All of our staff are extensively interviewed, screened and submit to a criminal background check. They are chosen for their skills in working with children. We also conduct an intensive week long training program, which covers all aspects of camp life, from teaching lessons to dealing with homesickness. Many of our staff return each year, and some have been campers in our program in previous years.
