Staff training 2011 was held this weekend, and staff learned all about camp policies, camp goals and Stonybrook Day Camp’s overall camp philosophy. Safety and keeping camp fun were big themes as was encouraging campers to connect and develop friendships.
Day one welcomed new staff only and topics covered included camp activities, staff expectations, camper needs and special events, among other topics. All staff, new and returning, attended day two of training and staff learned about camper safety, team building, downtime activities and the power of camp in creating change in campers’ lives. The leadership team, the aquatics director and the camp nurse all lead sessions and shared their expertise. Morris Gold, from the camp insurance company, Sobel & Co., came to speak about safety and the important role that staff have in ensuring safety through smart decision making.
Staff met their co-counselors and began planning for the beginning of camp. Training included some songs, some games and lots of excitement for camp to start.
