We are an ACA accredited camp. Each session, 2 or 3 nurses run our on-site Health Center. Each Camp Nurse is typically an RN, works in the field at home, and brings their own children with them while they work a session at camp! We also have a physician on call 24/7, as well as a longstanding relationship with our local Urgent Care and Hospital. Our on-site health center is a standalone facility that offers housing for our nurses as well as any inpatients during the summer sessions. All medication on camp is stored in the health center, and administered by our camp nurses.

Counselors live in cabins alongside 8-12 campers, ensuring that they are not only safe but also happy, engaged, and well-cared-for throughout their stay. While the primary responsibility is the well-being of the campers, the roles at camp are incredibly diverse, offering a range of opportunities to contribute to the magic of camp life.  Each age division has Group Leaders, who manage and oversee counselors in those cabins, and each age division has a Head Counselor who leads each division. Head Counselors and Group Leaders make up part of our Leadership team, who also include longtime-staff members who have been with camp for the past 10, 15, even 25 years! Our Directors have been with Camp Twin Creeks since we opened in 2001.

Counselors are required to have completed their first year of college, and go through a hiring process including the completion of an initial application and a series of interviews. Counselors should have prior experience working with children or teaching the activity they hope to teach at camp.

All staff members arrive one week early for a full week of staff training and orientation on site. Staff training covers topics ranging from professional development to emergency procedures, and goes extensively into how to be the best support systems and care takers for incoming campers.

Our staff training week spends significant time talking about acceptance, inclusion and our goals for every member of our community to feel safe, happy, comfortable.  We build a team of counselors to best resemble our camper population; a population that is rich in variety and diversity from both the both US and upwards of 10-12 international markets every summer.

Families are asked to read and acknowledge our code of conduct prior to the summer.  This code ensures that all campers are aware of and will  follow our guidelines.  On the first day of a camp session, community discussions also take place to allow campers to fully understand the camp environment and the expectations for behaviors and actions that we have.

We are a technology free campus, and encourage campers to leave their phones at home.
