MEET THE TEAM

A fun, loving, and highly qualified staff is essential in order for campers to have the best summer camp experience.  It’s all about the people!  We screen all of our applications and interview all of our applicants thoroughly for positions.  


Our staff is carefully assessed for their departmental achievements, and their experience working with children.  All Department Heads are extremely qualified in their fields of instruction, and most are professionals in their particular skill area year-round. Furthermore, campers and Braeside benefit from an outstanding counselor return rate every year. New staff members participate in a week of orientation where they are trained by our Directors and Group Leaders to ensure all staff is ready for the Braeside experience.
