At the heart of Camp Wise is a compassionate and energetic team of staff.

Selected for their experience, skills, and dedication to kids, our counselors and specialists understand that they are the key to a successful camp experience for each child. Their caring and sensitivity create the foundation for a warm, welcoming home away from home. Our low camper-to-staff ratios ensure that each camper receives attention and guidance.

Over 85% of our staf members grew up at Camp Wise themselves and help carry on camp traditions like silly skits, Shabbat melodies and village cheers. Staff members also join us from all across the United States and Israel, and we even have staff from as far away as New Zealand, South Africa and England.

All of our staff participate in an intensive week-long training program and are certified in American Red Cross First Aid and CPR. Our pool and lake staff are all American Red Cross-certified life guards and our specialists are trained and certified in their specific specialty.
