Our Staff
Each group of ten Wee Ways or ten Ways of the Woods campers is led by a mature, well-trained counsellor. Counselling staff at Ways of the Woods are a minimum of 18 years of age, carefully screened and selected, and all participate in an extensive training program prior to the beginning of the summer. All camp staff are certified in first aid and CPR. Click here to read more about the camp experience from a counselor's point of view!
