What is the ratio of staff to campers?
Our supervision ratio of staff to campers is approximately 1:3. A team of two Unit Staff supervises each group of campers. In addition, each department has 1 to 8 full time staff, depending on the activity. During the day, a group of 15 campers may attend an activity supervised by 3 to 7 total staff, again, depending on the complexity and risk involved in the activity. Drama may have a ratio of 1:5, while kayaking would be 1:2.4. In the evening, all staff participate in activities like soccer, dances, campfires, resulting in a 1:3 supervision ratio.
At all Eurotech® camp sessions the overall camper to staff ratio averages approximately 10:1 or better in most cases. This camper to staff ratio refers to all full time Eurotech® camp staff; National Directors, Associate Directors, Staff Coaches, Head Athletic Trainer, Student Athletic Trainers, Support Medical Staff and Counselors. This is well above camp industry standards and has been the standard in which other soccer camps have tried to mimic! The camper to coaching staff is typically around 12:1 with the younger age groups and 16:1 or a little higher with the older age groups.
The ratio of campers to counselors is three to one. Is there One to One Assistance? Campers needing individual assistance may be accepted if the camper is accompanied by a staff assistant provided by the parent or caregiver. The assistant remains with the camper at all times for the entire session. Camp Thorpe will provide meals and lodging for the assistant. It is not the responsibility of Camp Thorpe to secure or compensate the assistant. What are the costs? $800 per session for campers aged 21 and older. $700 per session for younger campers. The tuition includes program, lodging, meals, special events, laundry and snacks for camp programs. (Session #4: Children $400 Adults $450) Those who cannot meet the tuition costs may consider a ‘campership’. Full or partial camperships are available to qualifying campers ages 10-20 to assist in meeting tuition costs. Camperships are not available to campers 21 and over. What are the Session Dates?
