“Do the right thing, do the best you can, and always show people you care. You’ve got to make a sincere attempt to have the right goals, to begin with, the go after them with appropriate effort, and remember that you can’t really achieve anything great without the help of others.”

Creating a team at Mary’s Land Farm Summer Camp is one of the most important tasks throughout the year. Our counselors and directors are chosen for their unique personalities, skills, virtues and great attitudes. The counselors understand their duties to guide and help summer camp kids flourish into the person God made them to be. Through farm experiences, story telling, and team-bonding, the counselor and camper relationships become strong friendships that we hope impacts their lives forever. We truly believe that if we have the best team, we will have the happiest of campers, and have the best camp.
Health and safety are at the top of our priority list here at Mary’s Land Summer Camp. All counselors go through an in-depth training program on first-aid, specifically geared to farm specific dangers and are readily equipped to navigate through any potential dangers. Our trained staff, customized care-plans and first-aid will ensure a safe and healthy environment for your child at camp.
Every camp group has a formatting counselor. A formatting counselor is a staff member who has been with Mary’s Land Farm for more than one year and was hand-selected due to their leadership skills to head a camp group.
Qualifications and Hiring Process: Guided by the American Camp Association, all our counselors are 18 years or older, complete full CPS background checks, and in-depth training. Most of our counselors are enrolled in four-year colleges throughout the school year. Each counselor understands that they are hired to keep campers safe while having a great time on the farm. We pride ourselves in the after camp-hours community that the counselors are a part of to create strong relationships within our team.
