Summer 2020 Camp Information
A Special Note to Our Staff
Dear Staff,
It’s with great sadness that we announce that, due to all the uncertainties posed by COVID-19, all Roughing It day Camp summer 2020 programs will be canceled. This is the hardest decision about Camp we’ve ever had to make. It is heartbreaking to know that instead of celebrating our 48th season together, our campers and staff won’t be coming to camp to experience the magic of Roughing It this summer.
And, despite the sadness and difficulty of the decision, we know it is the right one. Our first priority will always be the safety and health of our campers and staff.
Every summer, one of our favorite parts of our jobs is connecting with you, our staff. We love building our team during staff training, working with our staff throughout the summer to give our campers the summer of their lives, going through the exciting work of Camp together, and reliving the highlights during the staff party at the end of summer.
One of our best parts of camp is seeing you as staff grow as leaders, and learn new things about yourselves. We love that experience for you, and we love being a part of it. This growth won’t happen as it should this summer, but we hope for you that it does happen. We encourage you to use this time to develop and grow.
A few things to know:
Your 2020 job offer is good for 2021. Our hope for 2021 is that all of you will be on staff. We know that it’s not likely we’ll get 100% of you, but we do hope to see most of you at camp next summer. In the fall, we will begin filling 2021 positions with our 2020 staff first. You have a spot on our staff if you want one, and we look froward to working with you next summer.
Summer work opportunities: While nothing can replace camp this summer, we put together KidCare, an online job board where Camp Counselors connect with local families to provide fun and engaging care for kids. Contact us for more details.
Please reach out to us if you have questions or want to talk. We are here for you.
Again, we will miss having you at camp this summer. We hope to see you all soon!
Camp Hugs to you all!
Amy, Ann, Hobie, Jessie & the RI Team
