A Day in the Life of a Counselor

If you are applying to be a camp counselor, be prepared for fun, friendship, and work. First bell goes off at 7:45am every day, followed by breakfast and cabin clean up. Two periods in the morning are followed by lunch, a free time period, and two activity periods in the afternoon. Sometimes a free swim follows afternoon activities, then dinner, evening activity, and our famous ”cake and milk” snack. at 8:30pm everyone must be back at the cabins followed by lights out at 10pm.

Several nights each week, counselors are assigned to remain in an assigned bunk ”on duty” to watch over campers. When not ”on duty” counselors will have a night to themselves to talk on the phone, work on their computers, spend time with fellow staff, or catch up on sleep.

Depending on your level as a counselor, you have a certain amount of full days off if you want to go home or do as you want.
