Camp Staff
Camp John J. Barnhardt has an experienced staff that will help your troop have a wonderful camp experience. Our team is comprised of male and female staff all of whom are registered in the BSA. All staff members complete a minimum of 28 hours of job-specific training and those in key roles have been trained at the National Camping School. We have a very experienced staff; many have been part of the Barnhardt team for over a decade! You can find out more about our team members below.
We're always looking for good Scouts to join our team! A Scout between 14 and 17 years old may participate in our Counselor-in-Training program (offered at both summer and winter camps) and paid staff jobs are available to those over the age of 15.
