 enriching camp activities in a fun and safe environment. The ALSO Unit is designed for our older campers in
 third through sixth grade. Activities are designed to expand campers’ experience through adventure-based,
 mind-stimulating activities. Also Unit campers will go on an exciting field trip on Fridays. Please see a sample

experienced staff are current and former EDP staff, high school students, and college/post college students. Many
of our staff come back to work at our summer camp year after year. Staff

in their assigned groups.

 Undergo a comprehensive interview process as well as reference and
    background checks.
 Attend a mandatory staff training covering topics including behavior
    management, supervision, staff/camper participation, child abuse
    prevention, problem solving and conflict resolution, COVID-19 safety
