Specialists are a selected group of individuals whose role is to enrich, inspire and strengthen campers through their area of expertise over the course of the camp season.

Each specialty head is responsible for creating an age appropriate curriculum, submitting materials lists on time and executing projects and activities in a way that makes even the shyest campers into stars.
