The Directors are assisted by a staff of trained and experienced men and women selected for their interest in education, camping experience and, above all, their abilities to understand and work with children. The staff consists of Roeper School faculty, teachers from other school districts, college students and high school students as assistant counselors. Fine arts, athletics, sciences, crafts and swimming are taught by experts in their fields — several who have been at Roeper Summer Day Camp for many summers. CPR training is provided for staff members during staff orientation.

Counselor-In-Training (CIT) positions are available for 14- and 15-year olds. Directed by Head Counselors, CITs learn how to interact with, care for and supervise children through hands-on experience. Each CIT is assigned to work with camper groups at every age level during the summer. All CIT candidates must interview with the Camp Directors prior to acceptance into the program. This is a volunteer program.
