The all-volunteer New Maroon Camp Staff is comprised of a Student Executive Staff, Student Counselor group, Student Buddy Staff, and a Student Programming Staff.
Comprised of a multi-talented group of MSU students who develop, plan and ultimately lead the counselors and programming staff in the implementation of New Maroon Camp.
Selected through an arduous interview process developed and managed by the Student Executive Staff, the counselors have dedicated countless hours preparing and training for the New Maroon Camp Session.
Led by the Logistics Coordinator, PStaff is responsible for the development and implementation of camp programming, as well as supporting the counselors during the camp session.
As a branch of counselors, the Buddy Staff members focus spending their time with students coming through camp with special needs. Along with this, they help the Executive Staff when an extra hand is needed.
