• Remain with your group at all times, including during instructional and free swim sessions.

• Assist specialists with camp activities and clean-up, ensuring that all campers are engaged and included.

• Be a positive role model for both campers and other counselors by modeling healthy habits (e.g., staying

hydrated) and maintaining a fun and enthusiastic attitude.

• Attend to campers’ individual needs (e.g., helping with shoes, bathroom trips, lost items, feeling unwell, making

friends, etc.) to ensure they have a positive experience at camp.

• Address any issues related to bullying, exclusion, or other camper challenges, providing support to foster a safe,

welcoming environment.
