Note: If you are flying to camp, please aim to land before 4pm so we can get you picked up and brought to camp in time for dinner with the rest of the staff on your first night. International staff ONLY may be permitted to arrive early in order to have time to adjust time zones. Please reach out to a camp director to finalize arrivals.

DEPARTURES

All Staff: August 9, 12pm EST

Note: If you are scheduling a flight home, please aim to have it be in the late afternoon or evening (3pm or later) on Saturday, OR any time on Sunday. Staff will be permitted to stay on site Saturday night if needed - including those who may want to drive home Sunday instead. All staff will need to be off site by Sunday morning, so if you have a later flight we will take you to the airport in the morning and then you will be on your own.

Food program and facilities team members may have separate dates depending on contract. Please reach out to your hiring manager with questions.

TRAVEL

Please complete this google form with your arrival and departure information. 

STAFF TRAINING - SKILLS WEEK

The first 3 days of all staff training are "Skills Week". You will sign up for a track of activities to participate in and develop skills that can be used throughout camp. The spots in each track are limited, so you will be asked to rank your top choices. The purpose of this time is for you to experience different activities and be prepared to teach them to campers when they arrive!

NOTE: Only cabin leaders and leaders-in-training need to complete this form. Four Trails staff, specialists, health team, food program, facilities, and Scout Village do not need to complete this form unless asked individually.

STAFF TRAINING - SAMPLE SCHEDULE

Once staff training begins, you will move throughout the property and train with different groups of people. Everyone will be sorted into a "Color Community" for staff training, which will be a mix of staff from different positions. You will also be in smaller groups for training based on the position you are hired for. Our staff training days are modeled off of our typical day schedule in camp, so you can get into a rhythm early on.
