Summer Camp Staff
The fellowship and belonging to a special group of people is profound. Serving on the Camp Horne Summer Camp Staff is much more than a job. It is a true calling. Those who have spent a portion of their summer giving their all, hand-in-hand with their fellow staff members, have not only provided a great service to younger Scouts, they have developed relationships and friendships that will last a lifetime. While the primary purpose of summer camp is for the benefit of the Scouts who attend, the fact of the matter is that it is the camp staff who gain the most.
