Each staff member is interviewed, has references checked, and is given a thorough background check as required by Maryland law. Activity Specialists have training and certification in their various fields.
An extensive, week-long pre-camp training encourages staff enthusiasm, creativity, and a sense of commitment that is a Camp Fairlee Manor tradition.
