Summer Staff
Between sessions, all staff have at least 24 hours off from 4 pm to 4 pm. A typical summer will have one day off earlier in the summer, so we can supplement our training, and expand to two days off later in the summer.
Here are those dates:
June 14 -15 (One Day, After Staff Training)
June 27 - 29 (Two Days, After Session 2)
July 18- 20 (Two Days, After Session 3)
August 1 - 3 (Two Days, After Session 4)
Counselor
In addition to the session breaks above, Counselors also have routine breaks during a session. During a typical two-week period, Counselors will have:
Two mornings off
One Free Time off
Alternating Rest Hours off, decided with co-counselor
One or more activity periods off
During sessions we also add in-camp evenings off.
Mentor
In addition to session breaks, Mentors have one morning off during a typical two-week period. While Counselors are usually required to attend each Evening Program, Mentors are only asked to attend about half. They can also choose one of those evenings to leave camp for a full night off.
Finally, Mentors also have a full day off on the second day of Campout.
Expedition Leader
Time off has a unique structure for Expedition Leaders. During their trips, it’s up to Leaders to divide responsibilities, which includes time for tagging out and resting. Expedition Leaders also typically have several days between each session to rest and prepare.
