Cabin Counselors
A counselor bunks in each cabin and is very much a part of cabin life. Our counselors are chosen for their skills and experience in recreational activities, but also because they love working with kids. They also understand the special challenges young musicians face, because they are musicians themselves! The directors consult frequently with counselors to ensure the safety, well-being, and progress of each camper.
