Camp Staff Training
Programs
|
Each summer
you assemble a staff from across the world, some are there for the first
time; others have returned summer after summer. One of the greatest
challenges for any camp is to bring this diverse group of people together
and build them into a cohesive staff that is ready to face any challenge the
summer can bring.
