Who We Are
Machagamee
has a history of bringing the outdoor experience
to a diverse population of girls. We take pride
in the quality of our staff and our commitment
to girl planning. Girls at camp are offered the
opportunity to plan all camps, special events,
and their daily activities.
A
ratio of 1 counselor to 6 campers is typical. Campers
are placed in units based on age. Counselors are
responsible for the conduct of the unit and working
with the girls to ensure a great session is had
by all. Counselors must be fun-loving, patient and
genuinely concerned for the welfare and development
of young people.
Camp
Machagamee is known for the maturity, quality and
the caring attitude of its counselors. We are proud
that many of our staff members return year after
year. All of our staff members are selected entirely
on the basis of their ability to effectively relate
to children.
The
entire counselor staff, both new and old, attend
24 hours of training before the beginning of camp.
Pre-camp training is a time for staff members to
get to know each other and build the team for summer.
There usually are sessions around safety, badge
work, late nights, working with kids skills, and
plenty of time to learn songs, games, and outdoor
skills.
A
bond that binds the entire Machagamee staff is an
unrelenting commitment to help each girl enjoy every
day of her summer at camp.
