Waukeela employs 55-60 staff members each summer. Many are former campers who want to share their love of the camp with others. All staff members and counselors are of college age or older, and are chosen for their love of children, ability to teach one or more activities and willingness to work in a close-knit community of their peers. All are hard-working, 24-hour friends and guardians, fulfilling their responsibilities with dedication and a fun-loving spirit.
