Residential Summer Enrichment Camping Program:  Pioneer Campers

Who are Pioneer Campers?

Our Pioneer Campers (PC's) are campers who are between the ages of 14-16. The PC's develop leadership skills, demonstrate a strong work ethic, and a desire to serve others.

We expect PC's to be positive role models for the younger campers.

PC's are supervised 100 % of their days and nights by their own counselors. PC's stay overnight from 7 to 10 days and are housed in     separate cabins. PC's can select one of the five sessions throughout the summer. They are required to follow a code of conduct.

· Leadership skills
