Camp Phillip staff
Two Camp Phillip staff will assist your congregational leaders during the actual day camp week and will lead the opening program, all camp game, closing program, adventure activity session and one other activity session.  The staff will arrive for set-up on Sunday and will meet with your church volunteers on Sunday evening at 6:30 (unless another time is agreed upon ahead of time) for orientation.  We will also bring along a couple of our more experienced junior staff to help with the program.  Oh yeah, Kody our mascot will also come along!
