Staff Spirit Committee

Hey let’s face it, even the counselors want to have fun this summer! That’s why the spirit committee was formed over 10 years ago. The committee plans events and activities FOR STAFF ONLY which  keep the “blue shirts” happy and engaged throughout the summer. Most of our events take place after camp hours. This provides counselors an opportunity to socialize with each other, and make friendships that help our jobs to be more special and fun!

Any staff member is welcome to join the spirit committee! Our committee represents a wide array of counselors all who have varied interests and ideas. Below is a sample of the activities we have had over the past few summers:

• Nighttime beach volleyball/pizza party*
• Nighttime camp pool games/swim*
• Nighttime sports*
• Card game tournaments
• Weekly dinners at local restaurants
• Weekend trips to Mountain Creek/Splish Splash waterparks
• Weeknight baseball games at Shea Stadium/Long Island Ducks
• Pep Squad for the Staff Softball Team
• “Welcome Committee” to facilitate “Meet Your Mateys” Day
• Staff member band concerts*
• Annual end of the year staff party
• Baggo and Basketball tournaments*

*These are events that take place in camp, when all of the campers are home for the night

If you have any ideas for this summer, we’d love to hear about them! Join the spirit committee this summer, or tell a committee member what you’d like to do!
