Our pledge is to put your children in the company of the most trustworthy and capable young adults. We can hire counselors who are well-suited to the task of caring for campers. The effort we put into screening and selecting our staff is part of that pledge. Our staff work with your children in a visible, well-scrutinized environment with many built-in checks and balances. Counselors are supervised by senior staff and guided by clear, firm policies regarding behavior. Their actions are also visible to co-workers and campers.
By hiring them, we do not recommend them as babysitters, nannies, or child companions outside of camp. In general, we discourage our staff from having contact with your children after camp since we cannot supervise their actions outside of camp programs. We hired our staff for the camp season. We do not take responsibility for their behavior off-season.
As a parent, you are, of course, free to make your own choice in this matter. While we cannot keep you from allowing your child to visit one of our staff members, you take full responsibility for doing so.
