Who is actually watching your camper
Every counsellor passes a background check and completes a week of on-site training before campers arrive, covering everything from cabin routines to how to spot the early signs of homesickness. Cabin ratios are one counsellor for every six campers ages 6-9, one for every eight ages 10-14. A registered nurse is on site around the clock, and every waterfront activity runs with certified lifeguards holding current wilderness first-aid certification.
Medication is logged in and dispensed by the camp nurse only, never by a counsellor. Allergies are flagged on every camper's file and shared with the kitchen and every cabin leader before session starts - our dining hall has a dedicated allergen-free table at every meal.
Homesickness is normal, and it is usually gone by day three. Counsellors are trained to keep a homesick camper busy and connected rather than isolated, and cabins post one photo update home mid-week. Phone calls are reserved for a counsellor-initiated check-in - campers do not carry phones - but a letter almost always gets a same-day reply if you write first.
