Information for Staff

Something amazing happens when fun, laughter and tradition meet great learning opportunities and skill instruction. Camp Canyon creates the ideal situation where campers experience traditional camp fun and values with a specialty camp level of programming and instruction. From breakfast to bedtime, from bunk inspection to camp fire, fun and laughter are key elements that allow our campers to feel free to be themselves, to strive to improve and to explore new things.

With this focus and with incredible facilities, Camp Canyon provides a wealth of opportunities (Rain or Shine) within a fun, spirited and supportive community. Canyon campers will laugh, learn new skills, make new friends, and grow to become stronger, more confident individuals.

• General Camp/Specialty Camp
• Co-Ed Camp/Single-sex Camp

Camp Canyon has the ability to create multiple specialty camp experiences within a traditional camp setting. By combining the best of staff and best of facilities, Canyon creates an opportunity for exceptional instruction and learning in a fun and exciting environment that has possibilities that never end. Our youngest campers are given the opportunity to select at least one specialty where they can receive concentrated instruction in a particular area while they are also scheduled through a set rotation of activities. This ensures that campers receive exposure to a wide variety of camp programs. With quality instruction, our younger campers will have a well-rounded knowledge of each sport and activity and may find a new favorite in the process.

As campers join the older ranks, they are given more opportunities to focus on particular activities and skills they want to improve on and to master. The number of options and the amount of time spent in those options increase as the camper's age and focus increases. Our oldest campers can get as specific or as diversified as they want in their schedules. Canyon can be structured as a completely diverse general camp, a series of one- week specialty camps or a completely focused full-summer specialty camp that still incorporates traditional camp elements. The Canyon program intentionally groups athletic instruction by gender and ability within an age group to provide the greatest opportunity for focused instruction and growth. Special gender specific activities are also part of the Canyon Program so that our campers enjoy the camaraderie of a single-sex experience. At the same time, Canyon offers co-ed camp accessibility for activities and special events that are age appropriate. This gives us the best of both worlds creating a wonderful instructional program while also allowing for traditional co-ed opportunities with age-appropriate social interaction.
