CAMP COUNSELLOR PROBLEMS 101

@camp-counsellor-problems

We are here to help! Just a couple of Canadian's here to spread our love of camp. (Also yes, as I have gotten many messages I thought I'd put this here. We are Canadian. In Canada this is indeed the proper spelling of counsellor! So don't you worry, we aren't horrid spellers, we are simply Canadians with a love of camp.) Thanks for stopping by! If you have any questions feel free to ask! Happy counselling!

hey there! so my camp is less than a month away and its my first year of being an assistant counsellor! do you have a list/ ideas of what I should be bringing since its going to be totally different from a camper? thanks :)

Hey there! Congrats!

You don’t need much, I know I bring less as a counsellor than I did as a camper. We are given shirts and sweaters at my camp even at that level so I’d just follow my “What to Bring to Camp” list under “Tip & Tricks”, good luck and have a great summer!

Advice for counselors in training?

Okay, CIT is one of the most rewarding and fun times you have at camp before you are staff. It is a tough, but amazing experience. The friends you make during CIT will be your friends till the end. You are the future staff team, so remember that. That being said, listen to your counsellors! They are there to teach you how to be the best counsellor you can be. Pay attention, and try your best. Participate in everything, even if it means stepping out of your comfort zone. Make sure to stay fed and hydrated throughout the weeks. It is important that you try your best to get enough rest, as CIT is quite exhausting at times.

This is going to be the best summer of your life, so be prepared to make memories! Take lots of pictures, and when you’re a counsellor you will be able to fully appreciate this blog. Good luck!
