All staff undergo a background check and multiple screening procedures before being hired. All staff are required to obtain CPR, First-Aid, and AED certifications. Many are also lifeguard certified. All staff go through a rigorous training at camp that covers managing group dynamics, addressing homesickness, practicing safety procedures and using techniques for ensuring a positive experience for all campers. All staff receive periodic in-services and reviews to ensure consistent quality leadership.

Staff will have training in recognizing all forms of bullying and the proper protocol on how to handle such instances. For the protection of every participant, we reserve the right to deny to immediately dismiss any participant, without refund, as a result of any behavior which goes against our policies and expectations. ​
