Floaters are our “jack-of-all-trades” staff members, and fill in where most needed. The summer is planned out, but every day, new opportunities present themselves. Our floaters need to be able to do a little bit of everything, and could be in one place during a day, or in seven places in a day. Floaters provide minute-to-minute coverage and supervision, and support counselors, campers, and activities as needed. In addition, Floaters participate in the daily activities as leaders, helpers, guides, and role models. Under the guidance of the Summer Directors, floaters will sometimes be assigned to assist with special events and administrative needs.
