Camp Rainbow will be held this year at Crowder State Park Group camping facility near Trenton, Mo. Each cabin will house 16 campers and staff, and is the dormitory type, with showers and restrooms in each cabin.
Camp will open Sunday, June 14th, with enrollment of the staff at 1pm. Please do not arrive before 1pm as we may not have your cabin ready to move in. All staff members are expected to help set up camp on Sunday. A training session will be held on Sunday afternoon or evening after we get camp set up. It is important that everyone working at camp attend the training session on Sunday.
You will need sport clothing that is comfortable. Each person must bring his own bedding, towels, soap, etc. Do not bring valuable jewelry, books, tapes, or equipment. Any items you bring for the campers to use must be well marked. For the safety of the camper, all personal medication that you bring will need to be clearly labeled and must be given to the camp nurse. You will have access to your medication whenever needed.
The last session campers will be released at 11 o’clock Saturday morning. Staff members are expected to help break camp Saturday afternoon, as we must be out of camp by 2:00pm. You are paid no money, but we do feel that you will benefit greatly. This will be the 55th year for Camp Rainbow. A great deal of work and tradition of unselfish giving have made it possible.
If you have any questions, please feel free to email. If you learn at the last moment you cannot work, please notify us immediately. We maintain a list of extra applications to fill last minute vacancies. We need to know if you are not available—even if this happens the day Camp Rainbow opens.
