Training & Support

We’re here to support our camp counselors every step of the way. Here’s how we help both new and returning volunteers succeed:

  • Every counselor will complete a mandatory online training course prior to camp. This course will take around 3 hours to complete, and will cover key topics like how to create a welcoming environment, conflict management, and our safety policies, ensuring every camp counselor arrives with a foundational knowledge of what to expect.

    In addition, we aim to help our volunteers gain experience and build skills that will continue to benefit you long after the camp week ends. To that end, in 2024, every volunteer will have the opportunity to complete an optional online course to earn a certificate in camp mental health.

  • Throughout your camp session, you will be directly supported by a member of our staff, Emily “Cardinal” Hayes, as well as the Rett’s Roost team.

    Every member of our team is invested in making sure that this is a great experience for every camper and every volunteer.
