The safety and well-being of our campers is Camp Stella Maris' foremost concern. Staff members are carefully selected and have a sincere interest in working with young people. Backgrounds for all staff are professionally checked annually. In addition, all applicants provide references, are interviewed and participate in an extensive pre-camp orientation, safety and training program. Many of our talented and dedicated staff, some of whom were campers themselves, return for several seasons, enabling campers and counselors to reunite each summer.
