Miss Emily – Camp Cook
Emily Bundick prepares meals for our campers. “Miss Emily” has been serving meals for summer camp for 23 years. She is known throughout the Eastern Shore for her home cooking including homemade yeast rolls and cinnamon buns.

Health and Safety Staff
Healthcare Supervisors are available each week of summer camp to assist in keeping our campers and staff healthy and safe. As a parent/guardian you are the greatest source of information about your child’s health, therefore at registration, OOTB needs your assistance in the completion of health forms and the management of medications.

Staff Credentials
It is important for you to know that each staff member completed an application, had four individual personal references including parent/guardian, Minister/Sunday School teacher, employer/teacher and character reference. In addition, each staff member successfully interviewed, passed a state police background check and was selected by the Leadership Team.

Staff Training
Summer camp staff receive intense and comprehensive training including but not limited to: safety/accident prevention, first aid/emergency procedures, cardiopulmonary resuscitation, and methods and content of our educational goals and camp activities.

Counselor-in-Training (CIT) Opportunity
If you have a youth at least 15 years old, who is an experienced camper, loves camp and wants to learn Christian leadership skills consider our Counselor-in-Training (CIT) program. Each CIT must enlist for at least 4 weeks of camping sessions This is great preparation for a possible future as a paid summer camp counselor. The $90.00 per week fee for CIT covers meals and food services costs.

Volunteers
OOTB offers many opportunities for individuals and groups to give of your time, talents and gifts.

The Camp always has a running list of needed projects from the very simple to the complex. Some ideas include: leaf raking, trail clearing, painting, minor repairs, electrical installations, waterfront cleaning, and much more.

Summer camp volunteer opportunities include Registered Nurses for staffing the First Aid Station and Laity or Clergy for ministering to our staff and campers.
