needs innovators and that innovation can be taught. We think kids
who learn to explore and who are willing to tackle challenges
despite their fears are happier, more creative, and more confident.

world and be the masters of their own.We also know that we can't
achieve our mission without staff who are role models of innovation
- visionary, courageous, collaborative, determined and reflective.
It's not always easy, and our camp staff work hard. But part of
what makes our camps great is our staff's commitment to sharing in
and bringing camp magic to life-for campers, and for themselves,
whether that looks like donning a chicken hat for a skit, or
playing a board game with two campers to build connection.

place better every day. They grow a ton, and have fun while doing
it. Check out our jobs videos for more about this role and working
