Working at Summer Camp will be the best experience of your life, and you’ll love every day!
Every day you’ll build on unbreakable friendships, tackle new challenges, and create memories that’ll last a lifetime.
While it’s amazing fun, the hours can be long and the work can sometimes be pretty draining, so everyone around you will be looking for a Summer Camp Hero to keep them going.
Summer Camp Heros are people who go to the next level to keep their campers and Co-Counselors happy. To anyone who’s reading this who has already been to camp, I’m sure someone immediately sprung to mind!
For anyone who hasn’t been to camp, we’ve put together 10 ways you can become a Summer Camp Hero…
1 – Stay positive at all times. Keep upbeat and smiling… you won’t believe how much of a difference it makes!
2 – Be the first person to lead or join in with a camp song to keep spirits high.
3 – Try and stay calm. We get it, being woken up in the middle of the night by campers can be frustrating, but you’re the role model for the group.
4 – Be a shoulder to cry on. We’re sure there will be lots of tears. Campers will be homesick. Be there to listen and to talk to.
5 – Don’t be afraid to be silly! Camp is about letting yourself go and having the best time of your life.
6 – Have a secret stash of goodies in your pocket for bribes/rewards.
7 – Be friendly – to everyone! Where else will you get the opportunity to experience living with people from all over the world?
8 – Be thoughtful. Some of your campers might be from different religions or backgrounds, so take it into account.
9 – Be encouraging! Camp’s about trying new things. Whether you’re encouraging a camper to swim or helping a Co-Counselor with their fear of heights, a little encouragement goes a long way.
10 – Be proud! Your hard work, determination, and skillset earned you this placement at camp. Take a look around you and take it all in!
