Program Specialist

First Aid and Martial Arts Specialists are the only positions open at this time.

Specialists are expected to engage in the same camp magic that counselors do while providing a specialized program in one location at camp.  Specialists are often experts or have special interest in the area they “teach.” They plan weekly activities, sometimes based on our awesome themed weeks, and teach all our campers. Specialists must be at least 16 years old. Check out our specialty areas and let us know your passion!
