Camp
The senior camping staff has over 30 years of camping experience combined and includes Kevin Couey, Senior Director of Camping Programs, Melissa Thiel, On-site Director of Camp Greider and Nick Benevidez, On-site Director of Camp Silver Creek.
All camp staff are interviewed thoroughly and required to provide references that are authenticated by the director. In addition, a criminal background check is performed on each applicant before being hired. All staff are also required to be CPR and First Aid certified and participate in a pre-camp training week. The training week includes topics on conflict resolution, camper characteristics, bee-sting training, group building exercises, values related activities as well as active participation in all the great activities we offer to campers.
Camp is not only for summer! The Salem Family YMCA offers a variety of day camps throughout the year, including Winter day camp and Spring Break day camp.
