Camp Talooli is a Day and Resident Camp Program that has been in operation for over sixty years. The success of our programs are, in large part, due to the success of our staff members. Camp Talooli has a very high return rate each summer and many of our counselors were once in the CIT program at camp. Many of our other staff members are college students who return each summer to work at Camp Talooli. This unique feature makes our staff more like family and provides a more comfortable atmosphere for our campers.

Staff at Camp Talooli attend our pre-camp training during the last week in June. During the training week staff stay overnight at camp from Monday until Friday covering topics such as communication, team building, risk management, child development, camper behavior, and programming.

A typical week for day camp staff begins on Monday morning when the buses arrive at camp and the campers prepare for flag raising. After flag raising staff accompany their campers to five different activities throughout the day which include swimming, boating, challenge course, nature, arts and crafts, campfire cooking and archery.

A typical week for resident camp staff begins on Sunday evening when the resident campers arrive. Staff sleep in the cabins with their campers and typically have between 5 to 7 campers in each cabin. Each day the staff accompany their campers to three meals held in our dining hall, five activities throughout the day, and evening activities which range from campfires with skits and songs, to choice activities like ride the wild gator and panning for gold. Resident campers and staff leave on Friday afternoon and staff return Sunday for a brand new group of campers!
