Camp Evergreen

Camp Evergreen has a 1:5 staff ratio for all camp activities. Each tent is led and supervised by a counselor and assisted by a Junior Counselor or a Counselor in Training (CIT). The staff members accompany their groups to activities, specialist areas and organized events. All staff members and volunteers are background checked before they are accepted to work at camp.

Unit Leaders

Each of the three Units in camp is supervised by a Unit leader. The role of the unit leader is to coordinate and implement the daily schedule, ensure quality age appropriate programing, and oversee the flow of communication between the counselors and the Director. The Unit leader is under the supervision of the Director. 

Counselors

Each Tent is lead and supervised by an experienced senior counselor. Senior counselors have several years of experience working as a counselor or in similar roles.  Many of our counselors were former campers and have completed training as CIT's and Jr. Counselors prior to becoming Senior Counselors.

 Junior Counselors

Junior Counselors have some prior experience in counseling or similar roles and are integral to the daily operations of camp. They work alongside senior staff, providing support while honing their skills to grow into confident and effective camp counselors

C.I.T.

The CIT program is in many ways a continuation of our Jr. Leaders program for our 7th and 8th graders. CIT's have just finished 9th grade.  CIT's go through an application process and are selected based on, maturity, positive attitude, potential for growth, enthusiasm and willingness to take on camp responsibilities. 

Specialists

Our specialist counselors are camp experts in their fields, bringing unique skills and enthusiasm to the camp experience. These senior staff members lead dynamic programming in a variety of specialty areas, including drama, woodshop, arts and crafts, sports, tennis, camp craft, nature, and boating. Each tent will have the opportunity to experience all these activities during their weekly schedule. Specialists also offer free-choice activities every afternoon for those who wish to learn more.

Pool Staff

Our pool is staffed by certified lifeguards under the supervision of the Pool Director. Each tent has the opportunity to swim at least one time per day. The daily swim period includes both an instructional portion and free swim. All campers are swim tested on the first day of the session and placed in an appropriate group. Campers must pass the deep end test before being allowed to swim in the deep end and use the diving board.

Nurse

A Nurse is on the premises all summer supervising our infirmary. The nurse handles all first aid and medication administration. A health examination is required of all campers (according to the Department of Public Health) and is kept on record in the infirmary. The Camp Doctor outlines the standing orders for the nurse,and is on call at all times in the event we are not able to reach the camper's parent or family doctor in case of an emergency.
