ACT STAFF

Administrators, Specialists and Counselors:
A team of qualified administrators develop plans insuring that children will safely enjoy themselves. Summer Camp swim staff are certified by the Red Cross. Head teachers have experience in similar settings. Counselors are teachers and college-age students with an expressed interest in working with our youth. Staff return to ACT year after year and have been enrolled in our programs themselves. Our staff is encouraged to directly communicate with parents regarding each child's progress. Staff meetings and training sessions are held before and during each program season. All staff are closely supervised and formally evaluated.
