2023 Party Night Shirt
We are excited to welcome you as a counselor for Camp Reynal 2023!
Thank you to everyone for volunteering for Camp Reynal 2023! We are excited to see our old friends, and welcome our new ones, as we get ready for an amazing week 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). We are planning to go back to our traditional party night shirt this year, but please accessorize to be as festive as possible! Many counselors will bring costumes/shirts (theme night), or props to help bring the nights to life for campers, but please ensure they are camp appropriate.
You can find our volunteer training manual here. It is required that you read this information prior to your arrival at counselor orientation. There is very important concerning our COVID protocols for this year, so please make sure to review that section carefully. There will be times at camp where masking is required, but we will 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 forms that were sent to your email address titled "Camp Reynal Code of Ethics - Signature Required". This form is linked to your application, please DO NOT change your name in the form when sign it.
COVID testing is mandatory for all campers, staff and volunteers. There will be more information sent out regarding COVID testing prior to camp. All volunteers will be tested upon arrival to camp by a nurse with a rapid test. We encourage you to take a home test the night before to prevent you from driving to camp and possibly testing positive, which would result in you having to return home. This is not required, but a precautionay measure to spare you an unnecessary drive should you test positive. We will send your testing/arrival time closer to camp. Arrival times will start as early as 8:30am. If you are carpooling with someone please email us so we can schedule you at the same arrival time.
In the coming weeks everyone will be getting an email asking you to enter information for a background check (returning counselors may have already received this) and to take an online course and test about abuse prevention (required every 2 years). Please complete this as soon as possible. You may not attend counselor training on May 27th without fulfilling this requirement.
Finally, counselor orientation will be held at Camp John Marc this year in the Silo. Below is a map with directions to camp. Please make sure you follow the map as GPS can lead you down some very rough and undesirable roads. New counselors will also need to attend our new counselor orientation via Zoom.
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!
