When must staff members arrive in camp at the start of the summer?

All staff members are required to attend the staff orientation which takes place before camp begins.  For this year's dates, please see the Calendar page. 

The staff orientation is mandatory because it is important! That is when you will learn about the vision and philosophy of Camp HASC; it is when you will learn about your schedule, the campus, and your responsibilities; it is when you will receive crucial training needed to properly care for your campers and when you'll meet and bond with your fellow staff members and supervisors.

May I bring a car to camp?

Staff members who are 19 years or older may bring a car to camp.

Is camp accessible by public transportation?

Yes it is.  There are several bus companies who provide service directly to the town of Liberty, Parksville and even to the front gate of Camp HASC itself.  You can visit the websites of the "Excellent Bus Service" and "Coach USA" for details and schedules.

What opportunities are there for me to continue my Yeshiva/Seminary style learning during the summer?

We are proud of our very busy Camp HASC Beis Medrash.  Every night, there are shiurim and chaburot as well as many staff members dedicating their free time to learn b'chavrusa or on their own.  We have prominent rabbanim, roshei yeshiva and community leaders visiting and speaking all the time, and we run many kumsitz, oneg and melave malka programs throughout the summer.  We also boast the Kollel Toras Chesed - a group of young talmidei chachamim (all of whom are veteran staff members!) learning in our beis medrash and keeping the kol torah strong all day and night.
