Our campers become our counselors.
Our counselors are the finest young men in the world. We have had the privilege of knowing and nurturing them and watching them grow from little boys into the leaders they are today. By this system, our counselors begin their roles already Maxwelton Gentlemen, and we know that they fully understand the character requirements, values, and behavioral expectations we consider prerequisites for the job of leading, nurturing, and teaching our campers.
In order to help with the transition from camper to counselor, we challenge our oldest campers (fifteen-year-olds) to help lead the younger campers in many aspects of Maxwelton life. In this role, they are considered cub-counselors, or “Cubs” for short. In essence, they are counselors-in-training during this year of leadership development. Our cubs are adored by the younger campers, and we are consistently impressed by their ability to serve as powerful role models.
