Unit Leaders

Unit Leaders are teachers and adults who supervise an entire age group/ unit.  They are responsible for everything in the unit and directly supervise the counselors and campers in every aspect of their camp experience.  Unit Leaders meet with the Directors before and after camp each day to review all pertinent information that arises regarding group dynamics, food issues and scheduling.

Unit Leaders also serve as the liaison between the camp and camp families.  Unit Leaders are also responsible for all contact with parents from the pre camp phone call through the last day of camp.  Because Unit Leaders are always around their campers, they know everything about them and are able to communicate with parents about personal situations which may arise.
