Staff Training

I arrived at camp on the 10^th June, and straight away we got right into planning our staff training and preparing for campers to arrive on the 30^th June.  We are starting a week later than normal this year, so should be well prepared for everyone’s arrival.

On the 16^th June the leadership team arrived for a week of focused training and planning before the rest of the staff arrived on the 23^rd and things really picked up.  All sorts of training sessions were crammed into this time – everything from how to work with children to activity instruction training to dealing with bullying, abuse, homesickness, and different camper types.  I was really impressed with all the staff and how well they took in all the information that was thrown at them, and felt that this year was one of the best staff training weeks we have had.  Not only that, but I am confident that this year sees us with the best staff group I have seen at camp.  We are in for a good summer!
