Training and Professional Development

All staff participate in our mandatory training program, including certification in First Aid and CPR if you’re not currently certified. Training is designed to give you the skills that will help you succeed throughout the summer and is in alignment with the American Camp Association’s standards and expectations.

During training, each staff member receives specific training for the activities she’ll teach that summer. Applicants with other certifications are eagerly welcomed including Lifeguard, Wilderness First Aid, Ropes/Challenge Course Facilitator, and Rifle Instructor.

During the summer we also hold supplemental In-Services for staff. These professional development events have included resume workshops, outside speakers from various industries, budgeting workshops, and more. We also send able and interested staff to a one-day Camp Con in Falls Church, Virgina, held each year for frontline camp staff.

Working at Camp is a proven way to build your resume and gain an array of marketable skills that easily translate to any field or profession — skills like collaboration, communication, creativity, flexibility, leadership, event planning, lesson planning, public speaking, and so much more!

Fully Connected

Counselors at Camp Alleghany commit to being “Fully Connected” to Camp Alleghany and the Camp community. This means being fully present and alive in the moment in an open-minded and open-hearted way. It also means not using your phone except on your days off (one day a week during term camp). At camp we connect face-to-face with campers and staff members to build the community we cherish and embrace when we’re on the Greenbrier River. Read more about how our Fully Connected Camp offers you a digital detox and a deep personal reset during the summer.
