The secret of TIC's success over the past 29 years is our wonderful staff. Our personal kind of teaching requires a high counselor to camper ratio: 1:4 in technology, 1:5 in athletics. TIC chooses staff for their talent, energy, sensitivity, and desire to share their enthusiasms with kids.

Our counselors attend some of the best universities and colleges in the U.S. and around the world. They are highly skilled in computers or athletics. But it is their caring—about kids and about teaching—that makes them so effective and so adored by the campers.

TIC has been accredited by ACA for all of its 29 years, and is licensed as a camp by the state of Maryland. We have health care providers at each site, a doctor on call, and many staff members certified in First Aid and CPR.
