It’s 2020! Do we know where our staff is?

You Betcha! Back in late 2019, many staff contacted us to say they would like to return. This ensures that we will have veterans in place to lead the charge into another great summer underneath the towering white pines. Many of our key positions have been filled, and cabin counselors and trip staff are coming into the fold. With that said, there are still some positions open for the upcoming summer. If you have any friends that you think would like to experience this place we all love feel free to have them email me at [email protected]. I would love to talk to them!

Come join this awesome crew!
