Qualified Staff...
I believe today's youth seeks to be challenged,
not coddled. To be inspired, not criticized. To be taught, not entertained.
To do, not watch only.
-- Don Sampson (Founder)
Highly qualified, mature staff members are selected from all parts of the United States and other countries. Most trip leaders are
schoolteachers or graduate students and all are trained in First
Aid and CPR.
Life Saving is required for all counselors dealing with water activities.
Only those who fit the program and philosophy are chosen. Staff
are not only required to have excellent interpersonal skills with
youth, they are also highly trained and experienced in their area
of expertise. The weekly adventure programs are organized into groups
of 6 to 9 youth, and 2 to 3 staff counselors. Many of the staff
members are former participants at Navajo Trails, and have many
years of experience in their specialty.
