Camp Staff

Mosholu counselors understand their important role as mentors. They gently encourage campers to explore and try, and they help children to learn to solve problems and overcome obstacles. Our counselors are trained to identify and meet the needs of individual children, as well as to develop spirited and cohesive groups. Mosholu staff training does not end at Orientation. Head Counselors, Activity Specialists and Directors mentor our staff daily.
