How are staff members selected? What is the ratio of campers to staff?
Emerald Cove Day Camp leadership staff is comprised of collegians, graduate students and professionals. Staff members are selected based on Christian maturity, youth work experience, strong communication skills, diverse skills and backgrounds, and zest for life. Candidates undergo an extensive interview, reference checks and criminal background checks prior to hiring. ECDC camp counselors include junior/senior high school students and recent graduates who also undergo thorough interviews, reference checks and background checks. All staff members receive training in a variety of areas including activity leadership, child development, behavior management and role modeling. All staff are CPR certified. As recommended by the American Camp Association, our counselor to camper ratio is 1:8 with leadership staff providing additional support.
