Excerpts from the Hidden Valley Staff ManualWhen you arrive at camp you will receive the complete Hidden Valley Camp Staff Manual. We'll use the manual for our conversations during staff training, and it will serve as a resource for you throughout your time at camp. Below are some excerpts that we thought would be valuable for you as you prepare for your time working with the staff and campers. Orientation Outline Provides you with an understanding of how and why orientation training is conducted. The Camp ExperienceRead more about the philosophy on which our summer conversations will be based. Our Goals and Intended Outcomes for CampWhat we strive to provide for campers and staff, and what we hope participants leave camp having gained. Counseling TechniquesThe first of a series of outlines about counseling techniques we practice at camp. The Camper/Counselor Relationship is the basis for success at camp. BoundariesThe serious side to working with children. We'll go over this outline in detail, but you can begin to understand the interpersonal boundaries within which you will be expected to conduct yourself. ** The pages are .pdf files and can be viewed by clicking the underlined link. |
