Camp Waziyatah Policies

 

Dear Prospective Counselor:

 

Thank you for your interest in our camp! Located in Waterford, Maine, Waziyatah is more than a traditional co-ed New England camp of superb quality and reputation -- it's an experience in which people of all ages grow, discover, explore, and feel welcome! Waziyatah is where we all come to have fun, work hard, profoundly and positively influence the lives of children, and make new friends.

 

Once you have had a chance to read the materials on our website, we will be happy to answer any questions you may have. Waziyatah believes strongly in developing a relationship with each person considering working with us. We welcome the opportunity to visit with you -- usually by phone -- to learn more about what is important to you. That also allows us to help in any way we can with your plans for an exciting summer of creating fun for children!

 

Sincerely,


Gregg Parker
