The
YMCA four character values -
honesty,
caring, respect and responsibility |
Cabin
Communities
A unique building block to the overnight camp
community is belonging and contributing to cabin
life. Campers of similar ages reside in cabins
that are equipped with bunks, mattresses, screened
windows, doors and electricity. Cabins are grouped
to create villages, with bathrooms and shower
facilities centrally located. A positive cabin
environment encourages group decision making and
shared activities, all of which help campers mature
and become appreciative of others.
Each
day concludes with cabin vespers, a time when
campers share experiences and feelings about their
day. By the time the lights go out, disagreements
are settled and friendships are strengthened.
Camp Directors
Tom Archer takes responsibility for Camp Mi-Te-Na.
Tom began attending Camp Mi-Te-Na as a young child
and grew from camper to counselor, from program
director to assistant director, from director
to now, Executive Director of Camping Services.
With his leadership, Camp Mi-Te-Na and Camp Foss
have grown in the number of facilities, quality
of camper experiences, and the number of campers.
Tom celebrates over 38 years in resident camping
and looks forward to affecting positive changes
at camp. Rick Ross has 37 years experience as
a camper, counselor and director - all at Camp
Mi-Te-Na, where he currently serves as director.
Both Rick and Tom use their extensive experience
and expertise to effectively prepare camp counselors
for your child's camping experience! |
