Having a friend or a family member visit you at camp is great! You’ll just need to make sure you arrange it with your camp director, so we can make sure they come at an appropriate time and are able to receive a VISITOR’S badge from the office.

Yes!

During each 2-week term, each counselor gets about 48 hours off in total. During this time, feel free to rest up, check out the surrounding areas, use our facilities, or whatever else you need to do to recharge!

If you have a work-related injury while you’re at camp, your medical expenses will be covered by occupational hazard insurance. If it’s not work-related (for example, on your time off), your own carrier or your parents’ carrier covers the expenses.

It can feel overwhelming to pack for 10 weeks. Here is everything you need to know: Packing List!

We have a laundry service at camp where you can send off a bag of laundry every week! We will provide a laundry bag for your laundry to go out. We do recommend bringing an additional laundry bag.

During a typical day at camp, the campers are scheduled for 6 activities. You can find our Daily Schedule here.

If you are an activity counselor, you will be scheduled to help run activities. Our activities at Camp Champions are divided into 5 different departments: Waterfront, Outdoors, Ropes, Fine Arts, and Sports. During your interview, a director might talk with you about your interest in specific activities areas. Check out our Activities Map to see all that we have to offer!

If you are not an activity counselor, you will be a cabin leader. As a cabin leader, you will travel with campers to their various activities. You might be scheduled to help facilitate certain activities while your campers are there. For example, if you are a lifeguard and your campers are at the lake for free swim, you will likely be guarding them. Otherwise you get to play!

The cabin leader role is an important part of camp. The cabin leader travels with their cabin (and the other cabins in their age group) and help the campers get to and from activities. For younger campers, they will help make sure they are putting on plenty of sunscreen, drinking enough water, and remembering to bring all their belongings. Being a cabin leader is great because you get to know your campers so well and see them take reasonable risks during their time at camp.

As a cabin leader, you might help out at certain activities. If you are a lifeguard, you might take your campers out on water toys or guard while they are at the pool. If you are belay trained, you might belay them at the Texas 2-Step or the climbing wall. Being a cabin leader is a great way to experience camp with your campers.

You will have access to WiFi during your off time. You can get WiFi in the staff lounge (the LL) or in the Hot Spot (our computer room).

There are 2 outlets in each cabin near the counselor bunks, which you can use. There are also additional outlets in all bathrooms.

We pride ourselves on having a tech-free camp, so you will not have your phones while working with campers. You can use your phones during off-time. They will stay in the LL (the counselor lounge) when you are working. We provide lockers for you to keep your personal items.

Friends and family can contact the camp office if they need to get ahold of you urgently.

You do not have to bring a laptop or tablet to camp. It is nice to have one for use on your off time to catch up with friends and everything else going on outside the Spur. It also comes in handy to use for Camper Reports. If you bring one, you can use it and store it in the LL (the counselor lounge). You can also use your computer in the Hotspot.

Don’t forget to pack your charger!

Because of the close proximity of campers and other staff members, pets are not a luxury we can afford. We would never be able to accommodate everyone and it would stir up all kinds of health issues. Therefore, we cannot allow counselors to keep pets of any kind at camp.

For safety (and so you and your campers can get adequate rest) there is a curfew at camp. Counselors should remain around their cabins with their campers after lights outs. When off-duty, counselors are free to stay at the counselors lounge until 11:45pm. The front gate will close and lock at curfew every night.

We do not have a restriction on hair length; however, we do strive for our counselors to present a clean-cut, clean-shaven appearance.

We know a lot of people have tattoos, and this is generally not a big deal. Tatoos do need to be appropriate, and if they aren’t we may ask you to keep them covered. This is becoming less of a concern, but we may also ask staff members to cover tattoos on Opening and Closing Days when parents are at camp.

At Camp Champions, we welcome all great counselors. While ear piercings are okay, we may ask you to remove some facial piercings on Opening and Closing Days. We hope not to make a big deal out of this. If you do have piercings (besides your ears), please let us know.

Camp Champions is alcohol-free. Our counselors agree, as part of their contracts, not to use alcohol during their employment, including nights off, days off, and between terms.

Kids see enough “role models” around them using alcohol, often to excess. We want camp to be a place where kids see people who don’t use alcohol and who are incredibly fun. THAT’S a powerful message. During the summer, ALL counselors and Full-Time Camp Staff commit to not using alcohol. Our campers are worth it.

Violation of this policy will result in an immediate dismissal. This policy is one of most important ways we build trust with parents, so there is no wiggle room on this one.

Camp Champions will not tolerate the possession, or use of, illegal substances at anytime. Violation of this policy will result in immediate dismissal. Camp Champions reserves the right to implement a random drug test at any time during the summer.

No matter what form; whether you dip, chew, smoke, or vape — if you use tobacco, it must be used on nights off, AFTER you have left camp property. Using tobacco on camp property will result in severe action, and possible dismissal. We PREFER that you not use tobacco at all, at least during the summer. You are a counselor hero. Making a commitment to stay completely away from tobacco during the summer sends a very powerful message to our campers.
