Most programs for children place the focus on the activities, and the counselors are there to primarily take them from one activity to the next. Outpost Summer Camp is constructed around the skill and creativity of each counselor. Our staff play games, lead hikes, teach crafts, make up stories and learn something special about each child in their group. Along the way, they help campers grow and develop during the summer season, guiding them through the process of learning and mastering new skills, creating and maintaining positive peer relationships, and enjoying themselves outdoors.
Outpost Summer Camp has two levels of staff. Senior Counselors have completed at least one year of college or the equivalent, drive the camp vans and are directly responsible for each group. They are certified in First Aid and CPR, and are chosen for their blend of responsibility, creativity, enthusiasm and sensitivity. They also supervise the Junior Counselors that help them with their groups. Junior Counselors have recently completed either 9th, 10th or 11th grade and work with the younger groups in camp, complete thorough staff training and are evaluated once a session by their Senior Counselor.
We also have Specialists who provide support to the counselors and lead additional program activities.
