Camp Savannah Staff

The key to ensuring that your camper has the best summer of their life depends on the quality of the counselors. JEA Camp Savannah selects only the finest from a pool of experienced counselors. All counselors participate in a week-long orientation before the summer which includes: learning to work with children of various age groups and abilities, Red Cross Pediatric first aid/safety training and anti-bullying seminars. In addition, counselors are evaluated by senior staff throughout the summer to ensure that they’re providing your child with the best care possible.
