Passages Adventure Camp 2014
Published on September 8th, 2011 by Enrichmond Blog Archive
Passages Adventure Camp’s mission is to help young people foster lifelong outdoor skills in a fun and challenging environment. Our focus is to help each camper build leadership skills, develop teamwork and improve their confidence and self-esteem.
We are able to do this because we:
- Select extremely competent staff, certified in First Aid and CPR.
- Maintain a camper to counselor ratio of four to one.
- Mentally and physically prepare campers for each activity.
- Provide and maintain top-notch equipment.

This summer Passages had 160 Staff with more that 90% of them returning from the previous summer. Our Counselors in Training (CIT) each submitted a 3-page job application, participated in a 40 minute one-on-one job interview, had their references checked, reviewed a 13-page in-depth job description and did a follow up phone interview all before being selected to join our Staff. All staff take part in a 45-hour training in addition to being certified in Community First Aid and Adult / Child CPR. CITs contributed more than 3200 hours of volunteering at Passages this past summer in addition to gaining invaluable life skills and having a complete blast.
