**COUNSELLORS/SPECIALISTS**

Counsellors/Specialists are responsible for the individual care, safety, health, wellbeing, and integration of a group of campers. Counsellors will be assigned to a group in between 5 - 12 campers. There are approximately two counsellors with every group, although the ratios will be higher within the younger units.

Being a counsellor/specialist is a huge job, but it is also tremendously rewarding. You are ultimately responsible for ensuring that your campers have the safest, happiest, and most memorable summer of their lives. This means doing a whole range of things, but to help you in your preparation for camp, here are the core elements of what our counsellors are expected to do...
- ALWAYS supervise EACH of your campers, accompanying them to all activities, being

constantly aware of their whereabouts, needs and safety at camp. Campers should never be

left alone.
- Be ATTENTIVE to their INDIVIDUAL needs: sunscreen, meal times, hydration, changing for

swim, happy times & unhappy times.
- EXECUTE AND PARTICIPATE in activities with your campers AT ALL TIMES - either help the

specialist, plan and execute the activity yourself and/or help the kids, and/or have fun doing the activity yourself - be actively involved, do not sit back and check out.
- Ensure SAFETY OF CAMPERS at all times.
- Be a POSITIVE ROLE MODEL and an energetic and enthusiastic leader - Be aware of what you say and do - kids are always listening
- CONNECT with each child on an individual basis. If you genuinely care about them and show interest in them, they will respond better to you, and you can better anticipate their needs.
- BE PATIENT - They're just kids
- HAVE FUN Come to camp each day ready to sing, dance, cheer, get wet, get dirty and be silly The more you put into your camp job, the more you will get out of it
