Exceptional staff is the reason Movie Magic is successful. Although programming and location are important, it is a special counsellor that youth will remember most from their camp experience. Anyone working for Movie Magic Camps are well screened before being considered for employment, a process that includes solid references, resume, participation and an interview plus a Police Reference Check. All staff are CPR and First Aid Certified. Depending on enrollment additional staff for Movie Magic camp may be provided by each municipality. In this case the municipality will be responsible for training, certification and reference checks.
