Camp Staff Uniform Ordering

All staff members are required to have a variety of Official BSA and TMR Staff uniform parts in order to be employed at camp. The Camping department is offering these items to current staff members at a significant discount. If you need to purchase uniform items, visit our Staff Uniform Online Store.

Working Papers
  • Individuals under the age of 18 will need Working Papers in order to be hired. Working Papers can only be obtained from your school. We suggest not waiting until the last minute... ASK YOUR PRINCIPAL OR GUIDANCE COUNSELOR FOR THEM NOW!
  • There are 2 different types of working papers:
    • One set is only valid if you will be 14 or 15 during the time of your employment. This is clearly indicated on the front of the card
    • Another set is only valid if you will be 16 or 17 during your time of employment.
    • Make sure you have the correct type of Working Papers.
    • NOTE: If you were 15 last summer, and will be 16 this summer, you need a new set of working papers; last year's will be insufficient.
  • Failure to submit working papers on-time can potentially affect your ability to be paid on-time, or at all, this summer.
  • Working Papers cannot be obtained while at camp. This must be accomplished at your school before coming to camp.

CPR & First Aid Training Information

If you are the camp's backup medical officer, an Aquatics Staff member, or the director in one of the following departments, this important information is for you (Aquatics, COPE, Climbing, Mountain Biking, Scout Skills.) To attend a course, you must first register by sending an email to your Camp Director. Training will all be completed prior to camp this summer, or a deduction will be made by the reservation from your salary.



National Camping School

For those senior staff members attending the National Camping School this summer, you must follow this link to complete the application and return it to the Camp Director ASAP. To sign up for NCS, if you are unsure as to whether you are required to attend NCS or have questions about NCS, contact your Camp Director.
