Summer Staff

Numerous others join us for our summer programs.

Summer staff members are hired after undergoing a careful application and screening process. Adults (age 18 and over) serve as counselors and activity leaders. Service and support positions are filled by adults and teens (age 16 and over).

The entire staff attends a thorough pre-camp orientation program. To further provide quality care for our campers and adult guests, the overall camper-to-staff ratio is typically 1:1 or occasionally 1:2.  We never have more than 2 campers with one staff member.
 

Cooperative Programs

For the past five years Camp Fish Tales has offered a work experience program, for students with disabilities, in cooperation with the Disability Network of Mid-Michigan.  Each summer 16-20 students gain experience in team work, responsibility and receive job skills training.  The Disability Network of Mid-Michigan also brings young adults up to the camp for a fishing trip and for one night of camping during a break week for the camp.
