Blue Mountain Summer Staff are Very Special Folks

BMS employs talented and professional camp teachers and program instructors. We have a Camp Teacher who will be available to the children from 9am until 3pm pick-up. The Camp teacher starts the day, introduces the Skilled Program Instructors and/or guests, organizes snacks, lunch, outdoor activities & facilitates closure.

Our Skilled Program Instructors bring their areas of specialty to the campers. Usually the Skilled Program Instructor will be with us from 9:30 until 12:30.

Assistants & Guests will be available when needed.

This combination of staff and talents creates a magical and diverse week for each camper.
