How is the staff selected and trained?
Camp Echo directors spend the winter traveling the world, attending staff recruiting fairs, and maintaining contact with past staff members (who often refer new staff, because they know what it takes to be a terrific counselor). Each member of our staff must show both excellence in their field and a genuine affinity for working with children. Once hired, counselors are trained by their peers (returning counselors who teach from experience) and supervisors, as well as top child development experts.
