Camp Life

Your most important role at Takodah is leading your cabin. You’ll live in a cabin with a co-leader and 10 campers. Your job is keeping campers safe and healthy, serving as a positive role model, helping campers learn and grow, cultivating friendships and belonging, and making sure everyone has fun.

The cabins are clustered into “divisions.” Each division is led by an experienced division head who supports cabin leaders and plans special division programs. Along with your division head, you’ll be surrounded by veteran cabin leaders and a leadership team to help with anything you need.

In addition to leading a cabin, you’ll also be a program instructor. As an instructor, you’ll work with other leaders who share your activity specialty, under the guidance of a program head. Your program head will help you draw on your own experiences, as well as teach you new skills, that will enable you to facilitate classes successfully. See a list of common Camp Activities.

Daily Schedule

Does it seem a little overwhelming? Don’t worry, we’ll teach you everything you need to know during Staff Orientation, which falls the week before campers arrive.
