Perhaps the single biggest factor in a child's success at camp is his bunk placement. Several weeks each spring are devoted to designing bunk placement based on information gleaned from personal visits, phone conversations and notes about each boy's particular likes and dislikes. Compatibility, experience and interests are the main considerations when placing boys together in a bunk. Other criteria, such as age and grade level, are easily met because of the number of boys in each age group. Typically, seven or eight boys live in a bunk with two male counselors. In our Warrior Camp (boys ages 7 through 10), campers have a third counselor, a female, who is the bunk "Big Sister" and does everything but sleep in the bunk.
