Staff & Counselors

Camp Team
One of the best parts about being a Camp Shand camper is getting to spend time with our fabulous team. Senior Staff are 18 years of age or older and are screened through background checks, reference checks and an interview process. Then they are extensively trained as a team at camp. During this time team members are able to get to know one another, learn all about Camp Shand and plan activities and programs for a fantastic summer. Team members are certified in CPR and First Aid, and Lifeguards are certified by either the YMCA or the Red Cross. We also have a health officer and food service team on hand. Throughout the summer, both campers and team members practice safety and emergency procedures. Our camp "specialist's team" has extra training in their specific area to provide a safe and cutting-edge experience for our campers. We are excited to have a group of people here who have different backgrounds and strengths, but who have something essential in common - they LOVE being camp counselors!
