	Our Counsellors... All our counsellors are over the age of 18, so they bring to camp a level of maturity that makes them excellent role models for our campers. Typically, our counsellors are outstanding undergraduates specialising in the arts. Many hope to become teachers, all come with us because they enjoy working with young people, have a passion for the arts and exude the kind of energy and enthusiasm that helps make camp a special place.
