Leaders are an integral part of Camp Dawn because we could not run camp without them. A leader’s main role is to be available to help campers feel comfortable and enjoy camp. There are two leaders and 5-7 campers per cabin. Our leaders work together to help run activities for campers and we try to match the activity to the leader’s interests. Please let us know if you have ideas or items to assist with activities (e.g. a musical instrument, sports equipment, game, etc). Campers are self-sufficient and do not need to be constantly monitored, however, leaders are expected to know the whereabouts of their campers. Leaders are NOT expected to act as personal assistants for campers – campers that need that level of assistance must be accompanied by their own personal attendant. Leaders are asked to commit to remaining on the grounds for the duration of camp, however, exceptions can be made so please let us know in advance.
