welcome to camp reynal

We are excited to welcome you as a counselor for Camp Reynal 2023!
Thank you for volunteering at Camp Reynal 2023! We can't wait to see our old friends and meet our new ones!
Get ready for an amazing week that our campers look forward to all year!
This year, we will have Theme Night and Party Night once again! For our new volunteers, these are two separate nights at camp where we encourage you to get into character and help make the night special for your campers! Theme night this year is "Super Mario Summer" (Super Mario Bros. Movie Trailer) and Party Night is "Color Me Camp" (think tie-dye and neon colors). The traditional Party Night shirt (pictured to the right) will be provided for everyone to wear. We encourage counselors to accessorize and be as festive as possible! Many counselors will wear themed outfits and props to help bring the nights to life for the campers. Think Super Mario shirts, neon headbands, glow sticks, necklaces, etc., just make sure all items are camp appropriate.
You can find our volunteer training manual here. It is required you read this information prior to your arrival at counselor orientation. It contains very important information concerning our COVID protocols for this year, so please review that section carefully. There will be times at camp where masking is required, but we will try to keep it as minimal as possible. When masks are needed, it is required for everyone to wear a surgical grade mask; cloth masks and gators will not be allowed. We will have masks available at camp, but you are also welcome to bring your own. After you have read the volunteer training manual, please sign the required form sent to your email address titled "Camp Reynal Code of Ethics - Signature Required." This form is linked to your application, so please DO NOT change your name in the form when you sign it.
COVID testing is mandatory for everyone attending camp. All volunteers will be tested upon arrival at camp by a nurse with a rapid test. If you test positive, you will be required to leave camp immediately. We encourage you to take a home test the night before. This is not required, but a precautionary measure to spare you an unnecessary drive should you test positive. We will send your testing/arrival time closer to camp start date. Arrival times will start as early as 8:00am. If you are carpooling with someone, please complete the form below so we can schedule you at the same arrival time.
If you have not received an email asking you to enter information for a background check, please email us so we can verify your email address and resend it. You will also receive another email this week to take an abuse prevention online course and test (required every 2 years). The email will come from campreynal@gmail.com, so please check your spam folder if you cannot locate it. Please complete these 2 tasks as soon as possible. You may not attend counselor training on May 27th without first fulfilling these requirements.
Finally, counselor orientation will be held at Camp John Marc in the Silo for both new and returning counselors. Below is a map with directions to camp. Please make sure you follow the map instructions carefully! GPS' can lead you down some very rough and undesirable roads. Be aware of speed traps, especially in Rio Vista. New counselors will also need to attend our new counselor orientation via Zoom (please complete form below if you did not receive an email with the link).
We can't wait to see everyone in a few short weeks! Please let us know if you have any questions by emailing us at campreynal@gmail.com!
