The philosophy of the Camp is to provide both an active and healthy outdoor experience, through sport and activity, in a creative and wholesome environment. Through the wide range of activities offered, our Campers are gain exposure to and enhance their 21st century skills - communication, critical thinking, collaboration and creativity - whilst also growing in maturity and independence.
Staff
Our program staff comprises of counselors, sports and activity instructors, language teachers, night guards, receptionists and specialist roles, such as photographers, movie producers and the overnight guide. In total, we have some 120 people working in a seasonal role in the program. Staff members are carefully chosen on the basis of their age, education, experience, maturity and ability to work with children. Moreover, four resident nurses (including a ‘Night Nurse’) and a local, on-call physician are responsible for the health of both Campers and staff members. The Camp Directors are each in charge of specific facets: programming, educational supervision, catering and administration.
