Staff Training

An exciting time of team-building, learning, and fun, this is the one time in the whole year we gather our whole community together to prepare ourselves for the summer. You will not want to miss this!

What to Expect

Staff Training is the time we come together to learn the skills and attitudes we need to be successful at summer camp. It involves spiritual formation, learning to lead, understanding policies and procedures, practicing working together as a team, and fun events. Key supportive friendships are developed over this time together. All summer staff members (paid and volunteer) are required to attend in order to be well-prepared for all that the summer holds.

Staff Training Dates

There are no fees for Staff Training, but you must be accepted through the screening process (including application, references, criminal record check, interview, medical form, etc.).

Volunteer Staff Training for 2025 runs from June 20-23, and SWAT Training runs from June 19-25. SWAT training begins on June 19 with First Aid all day, and volunteers arrive on June 20 at 6:30 p.m. Volunteers finish at 4:30 p.m. on June 23, while SWAT finishes after dinner on June 25.
