Adventure Camp Staff and Safety
Takodah Adventure Camp staff are caring and dedicated leaders who have your child's safety and well being is their foremost concern. All of our Adventure Camp staff have participated in extensive staff training at Takodah and are well versed in the areas of adventure programming which they lead.
Each trip has a staff that is 21 or older, a certified lifeguard, and a Wilderness First Responder. Takodah Adventure Camp staff are trained outdoor leaders with a track record of excellence working with youth. They are wonderful role models for our campers, stressing the YMCA's core values of honesty, caring, respect and responsibility. They work hard to make certain that every child's experience will be an adventure to remember.
On some trips, Takodah staff work with Guides provided by local outfitters, who know the rivers and rock faces we use intimately. Know that when we use outfitters for technical or site-based support, we rely on Takodah staff for our supervision and leadership.
