CA Camps Structure
Campers are placed into “Bunks” comprised of 8-14 similar-aged campers. Bunks travel to various activities together, and some activities include 2-3 bunks together. Bunks always have one head counselor (age 18+) and most bunks have a junior counselor (age 16+) and a teen (12-16 year old) LIT or CIT most days.
Our “Units” comprising of all campers of the same age. Each Unit is directed by a Unit Head, a senior staff person who is the parent point-of-contact for their camper. The Unit Head is the direct supervisor of the bunk staff.
