Each summer camp is overseen by a dedicated camp director, who ensures the smooth operation and safety of the program. The director is supported by a team of experienced counselor, all of whom are native English speakers and trained to provide guidance, supervision, and a fun, enriching experience for campers.
Each of our three camp locations features a distinct security and supervision structure, tailored to the specific needs of the site. All accommodations are private and secure, ensuring campers’ safety and comfort throughout their stay. From organized activities to free time, staff maintain consistent oversight, creating a safe and supportive environment for every camper.

Our staff members are highly qualified and carefully selected to provide the best possible experience for our campers. All staff are native English speakers with extensive experience working with children and in camp settings. They are passionate travelers and share a strong commitment to international education. Many have teaching experience, enhancing their ability to engage and inspire campers.
Additionally, our staff hold certifications in safety skills to ensure a secure environment. For specialized programs, we recruit staff with relevant expertise:
– For Sea Quest, we employ experienced sailors skilled in maritime activities.
– For Outdoor Exploration, staff are trained in outdoor and survival skills to lead campers confidently in wilderness settings.
This combination of expertise and enthusiasm ensures a safe, enriching, and unforgettable camp experience.

Staff training and professional development are key priorities at Alphabet International Camps. Training is overseen by the two founders of Alphabet and the experienced camp directors, many of whom have been part of the team for years.
The process begins with pre-camp training, where staff are prepared with the skills and knowledge needed to provide a safe, engaging, and educational experience. Upon arrival at the camp location, training continues on-site before the summer session begins, ensuring that all team members are fully equipped to handle their responsibilities and maintain the camp’s high standards.
This comprehensive approach ensures that staff are not only well-prepared but continually supported in their professional growth throughout their time at camp.

At Alphabet International Camps, we are incredibly fortunate to welcome campers from all over the world each summer. The diversity of our campers is at the heart of what makes Alphabet such a special and unique place.
From the moment they arrive, campers are introduced to an immersive, inclusive, and safe environment where they are encouraged to celebrate their differences and embrace new friendships. We strive to create a space where every camper feels valued, respected, and part of the magic of camp, fostering a community that thrives on mutual understanding and cultural exchange.
