"I know every year we returned to camp we were always afraid that it wouldn't be as good as the last. We were so excited to meet the new girls, but like⦠how in the world could it be as amazing as the year before. Every year I've been proved wrong!"
Expectations
Camp staff guide girls, ages 7-17, to challenge themselves and to make good choices all while having great fun and making new friends. It will be a challenging, and at times exhausting, job that you will cherish for a lifetime. Your work is guided by our camp Mission and Values that are based on social justice principles and universal Gospel values. Each summer, several of the Dominican Sisters volunteer alongside our camp staff to help each girl realize her uniqueness as an individual person, while understanding and striving to reach her own potential.
