Counselors and staff have a tremendous influence on a camper's experience. Staff members are carefully selected from churches throughout the Allegheny Synod, as well as from colleges and universities across the United States- many upon recommendations from pastors and youth leaders.

Each staff person goes through a detailed interview/hiring process (including national child abuse and Pa. criminal background checks along with a check of the national sex offender registry) and all are required to attend the intensive 10 day long staff orientation/training in order to ensure a safe and fun experience for all of our campers.

Parent comments have included, "The staff was very attentive and genuinely interested in the kids," And Camp staffers were enthusiastic and great role models."

A medical professional, who is on duty 24 hours a day, will greet parents and campers upon arrival, and will return medications, etc. on departure day. All staff members review safety regulations during their training programs and many receive certification in CPR/First Aid.

"Chaplains of the Week" will also be in attendance throughout the summer to assist with the curriculum, facilitate small and large group discussions, lead daily and closing worship, and provide other guidance and leadership.
