PROGRAM & STRUCTURE
The Starfish philosophy is based on engaging campers in a variety of adapted but traditional summer camp activities in a structured, safe and predictable environment.
As a member of the Starfish Staff, it will be your honor and responsibility to ensure that bunk life, activity lessons, and the overall camp experience for children is positive, engaging and fun. Almost all of our staff live in a cabin with campers. Our meals are served family-style, with counselors sitting alongside campers to facilitate good eating habits, table manners and communication skills.
At almost every minute of the day, your interactions with campers will make a difference in their behaviors. To guide you in these interactions, you'll be taught the Starfish Strategies, which are behavioral techniques you will find invaluable at camp, and be able to take with you into future jobs. To help campers build their repetoire of skills, you will also be teaching them the Starfish Tools - a set of values and coping mechanisms such as "I use my words to express my needs and feelings." Each day is busy and full of opportunities to help children learn, grow and have fun.
