Camp Staff
| Director | Andrew Knock |  At Kidcam Pelican Park, we truly are the community summer camp! Our families have been with us for years and are our greatest promoters and recruiters. In fact, many of our counselors began as young campers at Kidcam themselves. As an educator in the community myself, I see the spirit Kidcam brings to the children and families of our town. You feel that Spirit of Summer as soon as you walk into the gym: One hundred campers smiling and laughing, getting ready to play a game of bump, hike the trails throughout the park, discover new amazing things in the world of science, or create an art project for their best friends and parents! Kidcam Pelican Park is the Spirit of Summer. |

| Camper to Counselor Ratio | 10:1 With camper safety as the cornerstone of our program, the camp staff consists of certified teachers, outstanding college students and responsible and energetic teenagers. Once hired, the Kidcam staff goes through a rigorous training program in preparation for the first day of camp. |
