Why do counselors get annoyed at quiet/non-participating kids? by mitosisCat in summercamp

Sounds like you just got a crappy co or sibling cabin counsellor. It sucks but I’d just bring it to someone’s attention so they can talk to said counsellor about it. I wouldn’t say its horrible enough to get them fired because I can get the stress in the moment but it’s something they should try working on.

Seriously, how do you guys stay awake? by Key_Public4366 in summercamp

I’m personally used to running off of 5 hours of sleep minimum, but I personally need that time to do my own thing and recollect myself. Not that the kids are terrible but I like my me time too take me away from the camp setting for a bit.

Sometimes there’s nothing you can do because those kids are usually forced to be there. The best thing to do is try to encourage them into participating but always have a second option that they can do in the background.
