Staff - Join Our Team
Since most of our staff have been Woodstockers for many years, they know their primary role is to mentor campers in our "CHoRR" values of Caring, Honesty, Respect and Responsibility. The relationships that result are at the heart of the Woodstock spirit that keeps bringing back campers and staff year after year.
The key to the success of our program is our outstanding staff. Our counselors and program specialists are selected from our own CIT program and colleges across the country. They are chosen for their maturity and desire to be role models for kids. A senior and junior staff member supervise a cabin of 10 - 14 campers grouped by age.
Important dates for 2013:
Pre-staff training..June 10-14
Staff Training...June 16-21
First Day of Camp...June 23
Last Day of Camp...Aug 17
Woodstock Staff Creed
There is no one more responsible than I. I realize that I am a member of a time-honored tradition, which is known as a “Woodstocker.” I am proud of the Woodstock tradition, and will at all times conduct myself to bring credit upon Camp Woodstock, the YMCA, and the CHoRR values. I recognize my position here is a privilege which I will not abuse.
Respect is my watchword. My two basic responsibilities will always be uppermost in my mind: to facilitate a safe environment, and maintain the welfare of my campers. I will fulfill my responsibilities inherent to that role. All campers are entitled to outstanding leadership; I will provide that leadership. I know my campers, and I will always place their needs above my own. I will be fair and impartial when recommending both rewards and consequences.
Camp staff will have maximum time to accomplish their duties; they will not have to accomplish mine. I will earn their respect and confidence, as well as that of my campers. I will respect those with whom I work, regardless of their position. I will exercise initiative by taking appropriate action in the absence of instruction. I will not compromise my integrity nor my CHoRR values. I will not forget, nor will I allow my peers to forget, that we are counselors – leaders!
