A Closer Look at Summer Staff Training 2026

Before campers arrive, there is a great deal of preparation that goes into creating the Camp Rising Sun experience. This is what happens during the two weeks of Staff Training! 

From building community and developing curriculum to deepening their understanding of our educational approach and Camp traditions, this time lays the foundation for the weeks to come.

Along the way, there are Camp songs around the fire, canoeing on the lake, hikes to Burger Hill, trust-building activities, and countless conversations that help transform a group of staff members into a team.

The behind-the-scenes work of Staff Training is an essential part of what makes Camp Rising Sun possible, and we are grateful for the dedication, energy, and care this team is bringing to the season ahead.
