What Work Crew Does 💪
As a Work Crew member, you’re an extension of our staff! You work with our team to provide an excellent camp experience, but you’re not a camp counselor, and you don’t stay in cabins with campers. You stay in hotel-style staff housing, along with our staff.
You’ll have a Team Lead who will make sure you know exactly what you need to do and where you need to be, but there’s a quick overview below.

Help set up and strike chairs in the Club Room.
