Camper Q&A

Who Will Be My Counselor?

We have an incredible group of counselors this summer who are all fun, friendly, nice, and great instructors. No matter who your cabin counselor is, we know they’ll be a great one! You’ll meet your counselor when you arrive at camp. He will be waiting in the cabin to greet you and help you get unpacked. You will have one or two counselors, depending on your cabin.

Cabin counselors are at least 18 years old, and/or have completed a year of college or similar life experience. Some cabins may also have a member of the DASH team in addition to their cabin counselor. Our DASH team works for 5 week blocks at either the first half or second half of the summer, and they must be at least 17 years old, following the summer they are eligible to be Men of STEEL. DASH team members have a mix of responsibilities while working at camp, including kitchen shifts, activity teaching, and living in cabins with campers and a counselor. They have the opportunity to experience a different sort of work “behind-the-scenes” in the kitchen at camp, gain activity teaching experience, and learn what it means to be a cabin counselor before having their own cabin when they return as staff members again the following summer.

These counselors will be there for you all summer as your friends, older “brothers and sisters”, teachers, helpers, caretakers, and even mentors. Your cabin counselors are there to help you and enjoy camp together with you, but there are many people in camp to assist you - even if they are not your cabin counselor. You and your parents can ask your cabin counselors any questions when you meet them on Opening Day - they will be looking forward to getting to know you as well!
