Regarding Camp School http://nerbsa.org/program/campschool/residentcamps.aspx
National Camp School is a week-long training for summer camp staff. At camp school, you will learn all about the area that you were hired for; skills required, how to plan, how to lead, how to use equipment, etc. You will also learn how to be a scout, so don’t worry if you have never been in scouts before. In addition, you will meet hundreds of other staff members from several other camps in the country. Ideas on activities, training and materials can be exchanged during the week with all of these folks. Camp school is a lot of work; they will run you from 7:30 AM until 10:00 PM. But it is a lot of fun and you feel better going into your own camp after a week at camp school.
