Our Staff
Camp Kids Are Kids Chicago is staffed by diverse and caring volunteers who are carefully selected, screened, and assigned. Everyone, from the cabin counselors to the medical team, is a volunteer committed to making the week spectacular. All volunteers must be at least 21, complete a thorough application process which includes an interview and background check, and must participate in extensive mandatory training.
Our volunteers come from all over Chicago and the country. We have a minimum of 3 campers to 1 counselor supervision ratio. With our leadership, program, and medical volunteers, our ratio is 1 on 1.
All Camp Kids Are Kids Chicago staff share a commitment to the well-being and happiness of our campers and often say that camp is a life-changing experience that exceeds their highest expectations.
Camp Kids Are Kids Chicago provides quality medical care from a team of professionals. Our Medical Team reviews every camper’s application and coordinates care with their treating physicians. The camp medical team is available onsite at all times to administer medications, change dressings, and respond to all camper health needs. There is always one Pediatric Oncologist on-call and nurses on-site. They come from one of the many Pediatric Oncology Children’s Hospitals in the Chicago-land area.
