High school students act as camp counselors. Camp counselors are responsible for helping the Orchard Farm staff provide a safe, happy camp experience for our fifth graders. Research shows that students who make good grades, actively participate in extracurricular activities, attend school regularly and behave responsibly are more likely to be successful adults. Counselor candidates are screened for these traits through an application and interview process.
