Mandatory Trainings
At-camp volunteers (adults and PAs) will attend two trainings before camp begins—General Training and Outdoor Training. See below for more information.
GENERAL TRAINING
Based on volunteer feedback, we returned to an in-person gathering for General Training in 2026 and will do so again in 2027.
Date: TBA
New Adult Staff (and All PAs): TBA
All Staff and PAs: TBA
Location: IN PERSON / AT CAMP
General Training will cover camp organization, programming, and logistics. There will also be time to meet and strategize with the other adults and Program Aides assigned to your unit.
Note: Program Aides will have a breakout session with their PA Leaders (in a separate space) while new adult staff are meeting.
