Day Camp Staff
Counselors
At the Day Camp @ the JCC, we hire, train, and support an immensely talented, capable, and committed staff. They are the magic-makers, and you will know this the moment you and your children meet the members of our team. Our camp staff shares our vision of creating a child-centered camp community that understands the need for support and the value of pushing children to take on new challenges.
We maintain a camper-to-staff ratio of 4:1 or 3:1 in all camp activities. The staff comprises a diverse group of teachers, coaches, students, and specialists with extensive training that enables them to develop and run high-quality programming. The counselors and specialists are supported and supervised by our Leadership Team. Each staff member undergoes two interviews, plus reference and background checks. In addition, staff members participate in extensive pre-camp leadership training. Many return summer after summer; some are even past JCC day campers!
