About The Staff
At CHSCASP, we are proud of the warmth and energy that our directors and counselors bring to our program. Staff is carefully selected for their enthusiasm, expertise and educational background. Our staff undergoes an intensive hiring process including a formal interview and both reference and state CORI and SORI background checks. Many of our veteran staff return year after year and hold advanced certifications. Each swim instructor holds the required American Red Cross certifications and many have also received their Water Safety Instructor certification. A full time registered nurse is available at each campus to attend to the healthcare needs of all campers. We are committed to providing an enriching, safe and enjoyable experience for all.
