Our summer resident camp staff are professionally trained, energetic and caring adults, chosen for their strong character, understanding of girls, love for the outdoors and special skills. Staff members receive extensive training in handling children’s issues and concerns, positive communications, camping and outdoor skills, and health, safety and emergency procedures.

Most staff members are college age, pursuing careers in child development, psychology, teaching and recreation, and must pass background screening for a camp position.

Camp Scherman has an excellent staff-to-camper ratio of one adult to five campers.
