In operation since 1923, Camp Caribou is a family-owned overnight summer camp that caters to boys between 7 and 15 years old. During their attendance at Camp Caribou, boys are supervised by a team of dedicated staff members, some of whom attended the camp themselves as children.
Before sending their sons to camp, parents often have questions about the adults who supervise the boys and oversee the organization’s activities. Listed below are three frequently asked questions and answers about the camp’s staff.
Q: Who serves as the director of the camp?
A: Camp Caribou has been owned and operated by the Lerman family since 1968. Today, Bill and Martha Lerman and their children, Lori, Bobby, and son-in-law Alex all hold leadership positions in the family team of directors.
Q: How are staff members selected?
A: Camp staff members are hired from countries around the world. Many staff members return year after year, and new staff members are often hired based on the recommendations of existing employees. Prerequisites for working at the camp are an enthusiasm for sports, a passion for teaching children, an aptitude for mentor-ship and a positive outlook. Extensive reference and background checks and voluntary disclosures are also performed prior to employment.
Q: Are any of your staff members medically trained?
A: Yes. Two registered pediatric nurses live on site, while a third commutes to work at camp. Additionally, the camp employs an on-call physician and NP and maintains a modern infirmary on site.
