CAMP INFORMATION
QUALITY COUNSELORS
We recognize the quality of a counselor is critical to the success of
camp. Only the most qualified individuals are selected based on
experience, education, values, and the desire to work with children.
All counselors have PA State Police, Child Abuse, and FBI
Fingerprint certifications. Counselors attend a pre-camp training
which includes: CPR/AED & First-Aid, Child Abuse Prevention &
Mandated Reporter, leading activities, guiding behavior, aquatic
safety, canoeing & kayaking, and archery instruction. A ratio of 1
counselor to 12 campers is followed.
POSITIVE GUIDANCE
Counselors and coaches follow positive reinforcement guidelines
and stress the use of the Character Development Values of
Honesty, Caring, Respect, Responsibility & Faith. On occasion,
campers may need to be corrected for inappropriate behavior.
Parents will be notified of inappropriate behavior by the counselor
/coach and/or Director. Behavior Tracking Forms will be given to
the parent/guardian for review and signature. These forms are to
be returned within 24 hours. A parent/guardian conference with
the Director may also be held to discuss behavior. Our goal is to
provide a safe, enjoyable environment for everyone with your help.
The YMCA will not tolerate stealing, swearing, bullying, violence,
aggression, possession of weapons, drugs, alcohol or tobacco,
vandalism and sexual harassment.

LEADERSHIP TRAINING
Camp Leaders
Camp Leaders
Campers ages 13-16 will have an opportunity to work with counselors to help younger campers learn skills and achieve their goals.
Camp Leaders will play an intricate role within camp as role models for younger campers while gaining experience and learning the
expectations of a camp counselor. Many of our YMCA counselors and management started their YMCA career in the camp leaders
program.
