Camp Woodbrooke's Staff Members |

Camp Woodbrooke’s staff members are enthusiastic about living in a small, close knit, diverse community where each person is valued and treated with dignity and respect. They are enthusiastic about working with children, are committed to living simply in harmony with nature; they design creative activities that help children know and love the outdoors. Staff members work to foster cooperation, teambuilding, and a sense of community within the camp and serve as a role model to others.
Camp Woodbrooke is a very small camp with at most 36 campers, 12 cabin counselors, 2 teen trip counselors and one or two more staff. Cabin counselors live in rustic, open-sided cabins with up to six campers and one other counselor or helper. At Camp Woodbrooke everyone participates in the day-to-day life of the camp helping with food preparation, clean up, gardening, care of pets and cleaning the cabins and washhouses so counselors must be ready to participate in each of these areas. In addition, it is hoped that each counselor has special skills in some of the following areas: arts and crafts, woodworking, cooking, camp craft, nature, skits, group games, swim instruction, gardening, life guard, overnight tenting, music and archery. |
