The HVC Staff

The Hidden Valley Camp staff consists of 53 adults, primarily college students and graduates. These young men and women are carefully selected and trained for camp leadership positions. Mature leadership and careful supervision by a well trained staff are the greatest assurance of campers having a fine experience and parents' greatest guarantee of their child's physical and emotional well-being. The boys' and girls' group counselors' primary responsibility is with their tent group. They are assisted by speciality staff whose responsibilities are to work with groups and counselors when in their area. Staff are role models exhibiting positive examples and influence.
