You'll arrive on Thursday, May 18th, 2023 along with the rest of the FUNCO Staff to get acquainted with the facility, each other, and have some chill time before Campers arrive on Friday.
Counselors and staff will coordinate schedules to arrive at HPN airport around a center time in order to shuttle together.
Each house will have it's own channel on Discord, so House members (Campers) and Counselors can get familiar.
Each counselor will be paired with a Counselor-in-Crime, due in part to the number of campers attending. We want to make sure no one is overwhelmed, so you can lean on each other during the weekend.
Each of you will be given a batch of FUNCO Merit Badges to give your house members and other campers you believe deserve it throughout camp!
Each pair of Counselors will have a set number of campers assigned to your “House”. Each “House” will have the opportunity to participate in team challenges and events, giving you the opportunity to get to know your campers, and possibly win the House Cup!

You're expected to show up and provide support, instruction and care for those in your House and others around camp. No, you aren't a parent or guardian, but if someone needs something, we're relying on you to either point them in the right direction or be a listening ear. This camp is, first and foremost, a safe space. Should you encounter anyone making the space unsafe, it is your job to alert Kindred, so we can take the necessary steps for mediation or, possibly, removal. If all else fails fall back on the following: Care, Consideration, Community and Consent.
Please immediately find Kindred, Counselor Coordinator for additional support!
We will pair you with other Counselors, but if you have specific room requirements, needs or requests, let Kindred know!
Refunds are only available until March 15th.
