Camp Staff & Counselors

Assuring the health and safety of each camper is our first priority. All activities are supervised by trained counselors and/or adult staff. Camp Counselors participate in an extensive application and training process. These caring individuals know how to provide your child with safe, educational, and fun activities throughout their stay at camp.

Campers are covered by a supplemental health and safety policy while involved in camp programs. The camp nurse, who is on duty and at camp 24 hours a day, is responsible for distributing all prescription and over-the-counter drugs. Serious injuries or illnesses will be handled through Licking Memorial Hospital or Knox Community Hospital.
