Camp Staff - Featured in the LA Times!
The Los Angeles Times says we "set the bar high" when hiring staff...and you will, too! Our counselors are
chosen for their ability to work with kids in a leadership capacity plus serve as positive role models. Each camp
counselor applicant must pass a rigorous multi-phase interview process including drug testing and a criminal
background check. Our counselors are typically 19 years old (at a minimum), trained lifeguards and CPR and
First Aid certified.
