Cedars Camps prohibits unlawful discrimination in employment and all camp-sponsored programs and activities. This prohibition applies to acts of unlawful discrimination by or against Camp employees, campers, volunteers, and visitors—including applicants—and it includes unlawful discrimination on the basis of race, color, national origin, ethnicity, religion*, gender**, sexual orientation, family status, disability, age, or military or veteran status.

* Cedars prioritizes its commitment to hiring counselors and year-round staff who are practicing Christian Scientists. Campers and their families must be interested in engaging intentionally with CedarS’ mission and growing in Christian Science.

What experts are saying

“Workers of the future will spend more time on activities that machines are lesscapable of, such as managing people, applying expertise, and communicating withothers. The skills and capabilities required will also shift, requiring more social and emotional skills and more advanced cognitive capabilities, such as logical reasoning and creativity.”

- McKinsey & Company

“I credit my six-year experience as a counselor at CedarS for giving me strong resume points to use on graduate school applications, problem-solving confidence that helped me succeed in a top-level doctoral program, and the courage to leave an academic position at a major university to enter the full-time practice of Christian Science.”
