When we select our staff, quality is top priority. Our college-age counselors come from all over the U.S. and around the world. International staff members add extra zest to camp life with their customs and traditions. Counselors are personally interviewed following a comprehensive application process. They are selected for activity area skill levels and character traits desirable in role models. Instructors in specialty areas are required to have proper, current certification.

Mountain Meadow provides a trained counselor for each 5 campers, insuring personal attention to each individual. Being a counselor at Mountain Meadow is difficult and not for everyone. Beyond all of the talents and skills we seek young people with a servants heart, not seeking their own interests or needs first but who truly see the summer as a time to put the campers first and serve and build them up. Those with high moral character, maturity, experience working with children, enthusiasm and genuine interest in young people characterize Mountain Meadow's leaders.

For the camp family's safety and peace of mind, we have an MD or RN in residence at all times, as well as a complete first-aid dispensary and infirmary. A fully-staffed hospital is only 7 miles from the Ranch. All counseling staff are required to be trained and certified in basic First Aid and CPR. And all lifeguards and waterfront instructors must be red cross lifeguard certified as well.
