All of our camp staff is interviewed in person by the Camp Director. When a candidate is identified as a prospective camp staff member from the interview process, personal and professional references are verified and a background check is performed before employment is finalized.
What is a typical resident camper’s day like?
A great day at WT4H begins with wake up at 7:00 a.m. Mornings begin with Flag raising at the flagpole. Each cabin works as a team by sharing the cleaning responsibilities.
There are three camp program activity periods in the morning, followed by a free time/free swim period before lunch. Lunch is followed by rest hour. During this time, resident campers recharge for the two afternoon periods.
After the 2 afternoon activities, campers have some down time in their cabins with their counselors followed by dinner and the Flag lowering ceremony. Campers then spend some time at “Time For Thought.”
At the end of the day, there is an all camp evening program followed by a snack and then evening cabin time. Lights out at 9:45 pm. We believe a good night’s sleep is essential for children to experience daily camp program activities to the fullest.
Does 4-H camp specialize in anything?
We specialize in caring for children and making Camp a fun summer home for everyone. We personally get to know each of our campers and strive to make them feel special. Parents can always be assured that they’re talking to someone who knows and understands their child.
The best way to describe a camper’s summer is to emphasize that Athletics, Outdoor Adventure, Fine Arts and Crafts, Performing Arts, and Watersports and all other camp programs all combine to provide a well-rounded experience.
We do not focus exclusively on a specific sport or hobby. Rather, each camp program activity at WT4H Camp is valued equally so that athletes and artists alike may find an area in which they can shine while also exploring new interests.
How does the camp program work?
Camp is a weekly youth camp. Each camp program day is comprised of five scheduled activity periods. For our Resident Campers there are cabin and all camp evening activities. Campers ages 6-8 will be in the Clover Camp program while older campers (ages 9-15) have the opportunity to make personal choices about their daily schedules.
What are the living arrangement like?
Camp offers cabins which incorporate some comforts of home with the rustic nature of camping. Each bunk houses 8 campers and 2 counselors and features front and back entrances, plenty of windows, a smoke detector, bunks and storage space.
