Because we know staff is the most important part of a camp experience, we take great care to hire and train qualified, enthusiastic staff. We look for leadership skills, prior experience working with children, decision-making capabilities, respect for the environment and safety awareness.
Our year-round staff includes an executive director, program director, administrative coordinator and site manager. During the summer, we bring in high school, college and graduate students as counselors and specialists.
All staff members are certified in CPR and First Aid. Waterfront specialists are certified lifeguards, and as required, others are certified as an EMT, First Responder or have been trained in Wilderness First Aid.

I joined the Camp Warren Team as the Administrative Coordinator in 2021 - although I am no stranger to YMCA Camps. I started my Y Camping journey at Camp St. Croix in 2005 and have worked for a variety of camps and programs since. Through my time working with Y programming, I am always excited to help families get outside for play and adventure. I am happy to help answer any questions related to summer programming, or if you are interested in visiting Camp Warren in the fall, winter, or spring.
