2023

Staff Training

Trained staff members exhibit a knowledge and confidence that is picked up by people around them. Trained staff impact the quality of programs, camper return rates, staff tenure, safety, and a whole lot more. A trained staff member is better prepared to make WAC all it can be!

​

All staff members are required to complete certain courses. Depending on your staff position you may be required to complete additional training. A lot of the training may be completed online at your convenience but there is nothing like in person discussions and so some courses must be done in front of a real live person.

 

Please look through the list below to guide you on your training journey.

 

Once a training course has been completed, print a copy of your training certificate and bring it with you when you come to camp. You may also email the certificate to the Camp Director at: WACDirector@gmail.com.

​

If your training is still current (as of the last day that you will serve on camp staff) you may email a copy of your current training certificate to the Camp Director.
