Senior Unit
 It is our goal at Cedar
Lodge to take the brightest and strongest or our campers and
encourage them to come back as staff. To this end we have
developed our Sr. Unit programs for the older campers. It has
also served as a way for our campers to keep on coming back to
camp when many parents are pressuring them to get summer jobs, as
they are earning part of their summer camp fees back.
 Keeping in mind the skills
and personality traits that make a good counselor, the members of
sr. unit work with a Senior Unit Counselor. These campers are
given hands on experience on work projects designed to improve
the camp as well as teach basic work and team skills.Sr. Unit
members are responsible for making a certain amount of hours for
a discount, keeping a time card with signatures of Program Heads"
and making sure there hours are in at the end of their stay.
Older Senior Unit campers are given time in program areas of
their interest to better prepare them for future staffing
positions.
 This program is open to
all 14, 15 ,and 16 year old campers. There is a camp discount on
fees for any 15 and 16 year old campers who participate in the
Senior Unit program and stay for a least a four week period.
Discounts available under these conditions include 15% for 15
year olds, and 20% for 16 year olds.
For the camper who participates in this program and stay for a
shorter period, special privileges are allowed such as staying up
later in the evening and being eligible for special trips.
