I'm a Housed Staff member, where do I stay?
Housed staff members stay in "dormitory style" housing units close to our camp property during the summer and we provide transportation to/from camp each day. Please understand that all camp rules and policies apply to our staff housing facilities and we will review them as we get closer to Orientation.

Do we need additional health insurance?
American staff members are covered under the New York Workman's Compensation Law for injuries sustained while on the job or in the performance of one's duties. The treatment of any injury incurred in an activity which is not sanctioned by the camp will be at the expense of the employee. Staff members should carry their own comprehensive accident and health insurance for any non-work related injuries or illnesses. International staff may be covered by private insurance provided by the sponsoring agency.

Where does the staff come from?
Hampton Country Day Camp attracts a culturally diverse staff. While most of our staff is American, we have a number of counselors joining us from Canada and Europe.

Do we need to bring towels and linens?
Yes. We will send you a list of things that you might find useful to bring once you are hired.
