Week By Week Summer Schedule
June 1-13, Staff Training
All staff arrives by Sunday, June 1st. Once everyone arrives we'll have supper together and get settled into the groove of Trail Ridge. Over the next two weeks, the staff will get to know each other, and get acquainted with camp policies and procedures. Cabin Leaders will be trained on how to lead a cabin of campers, learn what to expect during a typical week of camp, and learn how to most effectively serve our campers. Cabin Leaders will also move into their cabins and get them set up for the next several weeks. Operations Staff will join in on general training sessions, and get familiarized with their department and the Crew Leader they'll be working under. At the end of this time, we'll all be making the final preparations for Junior High Camp 1.
June 6-7, Alpha Camp
At the end of the first week of Staff Training, we'll run a mini camp program for campers ages 1st-2nd grade.

Summer Staff Info
How old do I have to be?
All summer staff are required to be at least 18 years old. If you are not 18 yet, consider volunteering for a week or more this summer to see what it's all about.
What's a "Cabin Leader"?
The main role of Cabin Leaders (formerly known as counselors) is to spend time with campers assigned to their care, leading and guiding them throughout the week. They also help lead group activities and structured skill times.
I've heard there's more to being a Cabin Leader than just counseling.
What's that about?
Trail Ridge is a small family environment. When you aren't working as a cabin leader, you might find yourself helping with day to day camp operations including maintenance, hospitality, or in the kitchen. Being willing to work anywhere you are needed at camp is a great way to be a team player and help with the day to day needs of camp. It's not uncommon to see our Camp Director helping in the kitchen, or to see our Maintenance Supervisor helping run an activity. We're a part of the team here! If you're not willing to scrub a toilet, cut some grass, or wash some dishes, this probably isn't the right job for you.
