Segueing from the incredible Teen program to a staff-type position, includes the best of both worlds.

Waiters and Waitresses are TEENS! Those in 10th grade, entering 11th, are eligible to apply for this amazing program. This program serves as a transition from camper to staff. The fun continues as participants enjoy the fun, friends and activities that make the teen program the renowned program that it is.

Participants get a chance to assume some camp responsibility, that can lead to a full junior staff position the following summer. Participants have about 2.5 hours of camp responsibilities each day, and are granted teen camp advantages and staff advantages. The balance of the day is filled with sports, activities and chill time! With the exclusive teen specialties, an even later curfew and more nights out, this program creates one incredible summer!

Responsibility
Waiter/Waitresses are empowered with schedules and daily routines to carry out with minimal supervision. Waiter/Waitresses are included in the ‘planning process’ and asked to evaluate their success throughout the summer.

Service
Interaction with campers and staff as a waiter/waitress is a great customer service experience. The girls/boys are coached in providing service to others in a friendly and cheerful way, and how to respond to ‘unfriendly customers’.

Self-initiation
Waiter/Waitresses have the opportunity to plan their camp schedule so as to synchronize with their job responsibility. Creative thought sessions on how to maximize on time, camp experience, creating positive memories from waitering/waitressing, and building their own ideas, all enhance planning, teamwork skills, and creative process.

Leadership
Waiters/Waitresses carry leadership roles in camp-wide events such as Color War, Bunk Night, and more. The younger campers look to them as role models and they are encouraged to fill that role appropriately.

Independence
The waiter/waitress schedule fosters a higher level of independence in daily structure like wakeup and curfew, empowering them to stick to camp guidelines for their own benefit based on honor code rather than direct supervision." Participants are charged a reduced rate. They are eligible for community service hours. They will receive tips for their food service efforts.
