SOUTH SHORE YMCA NATURAL SCIENCE CENTER

Summer Camp Staff

Dedicated Leaders

Our Lead Counselors are college-educated men and women who have experience working with children. Each has attended on-site training, has been certified in First Aid and Professional Rescuer CPR, and undergone CORI & SORI checks. All share a genuine enthusiasm for children and nature.

We maintain a ratio of one Counselor to every 5 campers under the age of seven, in accordance with MA state law. For campers age seven and up, we exceed the state requirements (1:10) by maintaining a ratio of 1 counselor for every 8 campers. Each group of campers is led by a Lead Counselor who is a college graduate or student, and a Counselor who must be at least sixteen years old.
