What is the Time Commitment?

What About the Weekends?

During orientation weeks staff will have scheduled free time, since training may be during the first two weekends. There will be up to 3 partial weekend camps that staff will work. Staffers are also expected to attend the staff banquet, usually held the weekend before the last week of camp. All other weekends are free for the staff after their duties are completed. Staff are welcome to come and go during off weekends. Many love staying at camp and enjoying the property while hanging out with other staff. There is a free washer and dryer for the staff's use.

What Kind of Training Will I Receive?

Our administrative staff will do everything we can to prepare our staff for success. Caraway staffers are thoroughly trained to do their job. Before camp begins staff will be expected to read our staff manual and watch training videos as needed in preparation for the summer. Orientation for all summer staff lasts about two weeks, unless you are invited to come in early for additional specialized training. A week away staff will attend a weekend orientation in May. During this time staffers become completely familiar with the camp program and how to lead each activity and recreation. They learn how to be an effective camp counselor, learn age-group characteristics, proper motivation and discipline techniques, how to lead campers spiritually, safety training, and sexual abuse awareness training. Staff members are also trained in first aid, CPR, AED, and basic water safety.
