Leadership + Staffing

SUMMER@GUS day camp staff are students, teachers or activity specialists who have proven, successful experience working with children. Junior Counselors (rising Jr and Sr high school students who have successfully completed staff orientation) support the day camp staff with the delivery of camper program.

Day camp staff must attend a comprehensive staff orientation before camp begins to embrace the SUMMER @GUS core program and values, and build a cohesive staff team who work in the best interest of the campers at all times. Orientation includes health and safety protocols, risk management, behavior management, intentional program design, emergency procedures, use of resources, care of equipment, and overall knowledge of camp procedures. GUS staff and independent contractors have undergone background checks, including a Massachusetts CORI, SORI, the National Sex Offender Public Registry, and fingerprinting. In addition, we conduct in-person interviews and check three provided references. Our staff-to-camper ratios are defined further on each program’s details and logistics page.
