We will pick you up! We’ll be taking a couple shuttle trips to the airport so just let us know your flight information and we will coordinate which shuttle works best for you.

Summer Staff are required to live on-campus. Housing is provided in the various lodges on campus. Rooms will accommodate several staff members in bunk beds. Staff restrooms are located detached from summer house rooms. We have limited storage space but there will be opportunities if needed to purchase storage options after arrival.

Camp does not provide towels, washcloths, sheets, pillowcases, bedspreads, blankets, pillows, and mattress pads for summer staff unless previously discussed with Black Diamond Management. Staff are responsible for bringing their own bedding and towels- you will want warm bedding such as blankets, sleeping bags, etc.*

*Linens will be provided for all international staff.

You will receive a detailed packing list during the onboarding process, but a few general things include linens, towels, toiletries, clothes for hot and cold weather, clothes you don’t mind getting dirty, raincoat, comfortable closed toe shoes.

Laundry facilities on campus are available for Summer Staff use during the summer months. Summer Staff will be responsible for washing their own linens. You will need to provide your own laundry detergent, softener, etc.

Yes! There is cell service and Wifi throughout camp and we use messaging apps such as WhatsApp and Slack to communicate to the staff, so we ask that you have your phones on you.

However, to provide an intentional and “unplugged” experience for our guests and campers we require staff to be off of their phones around guests unless directly communicating with other staff.

We ask that all staff dress appropriately according to their work position. This may include shorts, t-shirts, tank tops, modest swimwear (one-piece or tankini style swimsuits for girls, swim shorts for guys), and closed-toe shoes. Please no overly revealing clothing such as short shorts or tube tops. Guys must wear shirts at all times, unless in the pool. You may also be in a harness throughout the day so having shorts that are long enough to prevent chafing is key.

We require staff to be in secure closed-toe shoes to facilitate our activities and work in the kitchen, but feel free to wear sandals and other footwear at other times. You will be walking for the majority of the day so comfortable durable footwear is essential.

Yes! We will have at least one scheduled store run a week for anyone that doesn’t have their own transportation. If staff need to go to the store before that planned trip, they can coordinate with summer leadership to find a time to take them as well.

Additionally, a lot of Summer Staff bring their own cars and often open invitations to their off-camp adventures. We also have camp vehicles that Summer Staff can request to use if they opt in to being on our insurance during the onboarding process.
