14 Dec 2024 — Camp Workcoeman has a variety of programs taking place this winter and spring for both Scouts BSA and Cub Scouts. In addition, training opportunities and campsite/facility rentals are available. We hope to you at camp!
The Camp Workcoeman Campmasters Corps is made of adult volunteers throughout the Connecticut Rivers Council. They are trained, registered Scouters who have an interest in making the Weekend Outdoor Experience a successful one for all units that choose to come to Camp Workcoeman. After a short orientation program, they each choose from two to four weekends per year to stay at the camp helping check units in at the beginning of their stay and supporting the units' needs. They also keep a watchful eye on the camp facilities to help ensure campers properly take care of the property.
The Campmaster Program is a national program with guidelines set up from National, the local council and the camp where they volunteer. The main function of the Campmaster is to be a friendly and supportive addition to the Weekend Camp Staff.
All Campmasters are a resource to the Camp and Council staff. Meetings are scheduled to evaluate its program, make scheduling assignments, and arrange for the training of any new members. All Campmasters must have a record of demonstrated ability to get along with people, to lead, and to act in an emergency.
All Campmasters must have a working knowledge of the Scouting program and advancement. Registered Scouters, with experience in Cub Scouts, Scouts BSA, and Venturing are eligible for consideration as Campmasters.
Help us to provide quality customer service to units visiting camp on weekends by helping us to restart our campmaster corps. Should you be interested in helping with this important task, please contact Jeff Seiser, [email protected]. Please know that this responsibility would only be 1–2 weekends per year and come with training being held soon.
