Information for Cabin Leaders
If you are looking at this page because you have been chosen as a cabin leader, let me first congratulate you! You are about to make a huge difference and become a wonderful influence on a whole cabin full of wonderful students. To help you prepare for this adventure, here are some frequently asked questions that many cabin leaders have.
For an overview of what it means to be a cabin leader, please download the Cabin Leader Handbook
1. What is a Cabin Leader?
A Cabin Leader is someone who volunteers their time to supervise students for 4 to 5 day trips to Blue Sky Meadow. Cabin Leaders have two main roles. Their primary role is to supervise students during cabin time, when students prepare for activities, do homework, clean and sleep. Their other role is to assist BSM naturalists during trail times, meals and evening programs.
2. What is the schedule like?
Cabin Leaders get a 3-4 p.m. break Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. They may also get one 9:30-4 p.m. trail time off per week. Learn more about our routine with our sample schedule.
3. What will I be eating?
Please take a look at our sample menu. Cabin Leaders may bring their own food, but it must be stored in the Cabin Leader lounge and may only be eaten during off-time.
4. Where will I be living?
If your are curious about our accomodations, you should take our tour.
5. What should I bring?
In addition to the items on the packing list, Cabin Leaders may also want to bring an alarm clock, flashlight and sandals for showering.
6. Will I be able to communicate with the outside world?
While cellular phones occasionally work at BSM, don't count on it. If you do get service, your phone may only be used during your off-time and out of view of the students. BSM's land line is available for emergency use only.
