Transitioning from camper to staffer
CREW
CREW is a program for young staff members to find their place at Heartland Camp. This program was created for first-time staff members between the ages of 18 and 20 to assist in their transition from camper to staff. CREW participants are vital resources to the camp’s operations.
In addition, these individuals have the opportunity to discover their interests as a staff member. CREW members have additional freedoms and leadership opportunities that are not provided to campers, but they do not yet have the full responsibility of being on staff. Apply to be on CREW today!
