Camping Out Ideas

Job duties of a Summer camp counselor?

Job duties of a camp counselor at a Summer Day Camp? I'm interested in working at any summer day camp as a camp counselor in NYC. I've never done it before. What are the job duties of a camp counselor? Would I have to come up with my own ideas for activities or is everything already planned out? Do I have to be familiar with sports (the only sport I know is swimming). Is the work tough at all (do the kids generally listen)? I'm thinking of going into teaching & think that this may help me get comfortable working with kids. What's the general pay? Please give me as much info. as you can. Thanks in advance.

  1. It would help if you had been a camper there. Usually camp counselors are former campers. All camps are different, so I can't be more helpful.
