ABOUT US
Our Staff
Counselors Lead the Way
We strive to select and train only the best staff at Emagination Computer
Camps. Some of our counselors started here as campers and some have
been with us over 10 years! They are wonderful teachers, leaders and
mentors.
Counselors & Campers Share the Passion for Technology
Counselors are recent college graduates and college students studying
computer science, information technologies, multimedia arts and design
or other related fields. All counselors are adults who share the campers'
passion for computers and digital technologies and they love working
with kids.
High Standards Mean Great Counselors
We recruit from a variety of colleges and universities, to develop
a select team that meets our qualifications and high standards. Counselors
go through a series of interviews with members of our management team.
The hiring process also includes reference and background checks.
We look for people who have both strong technology skills and experience
with children.
Pre-Camp Training
Counselors arrive a week before the campers and complete Emagination's
in person, on-site training and orientation program that has been
developed over 25 years. We train our counselors in fundamental teaching
skills and set high standards for delivering the curriculum of their
assigned workshops. During this time, counselors are also trained
to handle emergency situations and expectations are set for staff
behavior and conduct. The Camp Director, Assistant Directors and selected
counselors are certified in First Aid and CPR. Come opening day, staff
are prepared for an exciting and challenging summer!!
1:6 Counselor to Camper Ratio
Emagination operates at camper to staff ratios averaging 1:6 which
significantly exceeds American Camping Association requirements. Technology
Workshops range in size from 5-10 campers. We believe in nurturing
the growth and development of campers one at a time. Our conservative
staff ratios help us accomplish that goal.
