COUNSELOR HIGHLIGHTS – DAY 3

The countdown to Camp Indian Valley is almost over, and we can't wait to welcome our campers for an incredible Summer 2026!

Today, we're excited to introduce another group of outstanding counselors who will be helping create a summer filled with fun, friendship, adventure, and unforgettable memories.

Over the past two weeks, our staff have been hard at work participating in trainings, team-building activities, safety certifications, and camp preparation to ensure they are ready to provide a safe, supportive, and engaging experience for every camper.

Did You Know?
A great counselor does much more than lead games and activities. They are mentors, role models, problem-solvers, encouragers, and some of the first people campers turn to when they need a friend.

Our counselors are excited to help campers:
✅ Make new friends
✅ Try new activities
✅ Build confidence
✅ Learn new skills
✅ Create lifelong memories

We are incredibly proud of the team we have assembled and look forward to sharing their enthusiasm, creativity, and camp spirit with all of our campers this summer!

Be sure to say hello when you see them around camp and help us welcome them to another amazing season at Camp Indian Valley!
