Staff Training
OK, this all sounds great, but what about getting prepared. Does staff get trained?
Ah, terrific question! We feel that prepared staff are more effective staff and we go to great lengths to give you tools and
strategies to deal with certain situations that may arise throughout the summer during our orientation and ongoing staff training.
All of our staff goes through an extensive one-week orientation before the campers arrive in order to become acquainted with
everyone on staff, the layout of Walt Whitman and how we do things at Walt Whitman. All of our specialists get CPR/First-Aid
Certification, and area specific training (e.g., Wilderness First-Aid). Over the years our staff has told us that they feel
very prepared following orientation and that they have a lot of fun during orientation.
Our training does not end when the kids get there, along with daily on the job training you receive from your Area Directors or
Specialty Area Director, we provide our staff with ongoing formal training throughout the summer that is very practical and helpful.
We value the work that our staff does every summer immensely and we want to do everything we can to
make you successful at your job!
