What are the qualifications for counselors?

Camp Foley prides itself on years of quality staff. Our camp chooses adults who will be positive role models for our campers. Before hire, a counselor must complete an application, have three character reference forms and complete a standardized, personal interview. We must be assured of their communication skills, personality, self-image, interpersonal skills, values, maturity and intellect. Counselors must have the knowledge, experience and ability to instruct at least camp two activities.

Before working at Foley, a counselor must sign a commitment to the values and philosophy of Camp Foley and complete a background check including a check of the National Sex Offender Registry.

Prior to camper arrival, our counselors complete an 11-day training program where they rehearse emergency procedures and attend seminars that instill the goals and objectives of Camp Foley in our counselors. Counselors are continuously evaluated through the summer by our team of directors and assistant directors, who are on site every day, eat all their meals with the kids, attend (and sometimes teach) their activities and are in and out of their cabins each evening. Learn more about the directors here.

Is the food any good?

According to one camper: “The food has changed my life. I mean it is so good.” – Joey, age 13

We serve foods that campers may be served at home. Here is a sample of the food served at each mean. For breakfast Foley serves pancakes, waffles or bagels and every day there is a variety of cereal to choose from. For lunch we offer tacos, grilled cheese and tomato soup or BLTs and we always make sure there is an option for vegetarians. Dinners include spaghetti, hamburgers or pizza and the salad bar is always open with a variety of things to choose from.
