Staff Positions @ WEST
GROUP LEADERS: Group leaders act as a liaison between the head counselors and the group or division for which they are responsible. Group leaders are direct supervisors of the campers and counselors in their group and assist the head counselors with all activities, bunk issues and staff performance. The group leaders are fully involved in all aspects of their campers’ day, including meal supervision, bunk management and scheduling. They meet with the head counselors before each day begins to exchange information as to the events of that particular day and maintain an open line of communication with their counselors and campers. Since group leaders live in the bunk with campers, they are perfect for personal communication situations that arise. They help set the positive overall tone which incorporates our mission of teaching children the skills of making and keeping friends while building self-esteem and self-confidence.
