Summer Camp Questions

What age group do you have camps for?

Camps are available for all age groups: kindergardners to high school seniors for summer camps, as well as family camps and grandparent/grandchild camps, prime time and adult camps. There is something for everyone at PHRC.

Volunteer Questions

What do I do to volunteer to counsel for a week?

Please Contact Us so we can put you in contact with the leader of the camp you would be interested in counseling.

You will need to fill out a background check which will be mailed to you when we receive your paperwork. The background check is REQUIRED, without it you will not be allowed to counsel. We need this form back at least 24 hours before you are scheduled to counsel, to allow enough time for the results to be processed.

Do we receive anything for counseling?

You get a free T-shirt, and love and admiration of a bunch of campers! What more could you want?!?! PHRC currently relies on volunteer counselors for each camp. We provide training before the campers come including basic first aid, curriculum coverage, and training in all rules and regulations involved in working with children.

Staff Questions

How would I apply to be on Summer Staff?

If you are interested in applying to be on summer staff please Contact Us for an application.  We are currently looking for staff for the 2008 Season.

What is involved in being on Summer Staff?

Summer staff live in cabins on the camp grounds from May to early August. They provide support for all camps and outside group rentals during the summer. Staff move in 2 weeks before the first camp to get settled as well as be trained in challenge course, camp rules, and to help get the camp ready for the summer. Ideally all staff will be lifeguard certified, as only those signed off by the camp are allowed to lifeguard at the lake.
