In addition to the trainings you will attend during staff week, Camp Cory offers several trainings free of charge during pre-season. Several of these trainings provide you with official certifications and/or the ability to earn bonuses on top of your weekly salary.

  • If you do not have your CPR/First Aid for the Professional Rescuer and cannot attend any of the Camp Cory provided trainings, you need to get the training on your own at your own cost. If you need help finding a course in the Rochester area, contact Blake Van Horn at blake.vanhorn@rochesterymca.org. The same thing goes for Lifeguard training only this is not a required course.
  • Camp provides housing and meals during training time at no cost.
  • Unless otherwise indicated, trainings will be located at YMCA Camp Cory and start at 9 am.
