Description
From morning drop-offs to managing group meetings, day camp counselors juggle many responsibilities throughout the day. The Essential Pocket Guide for Day Camp Counselors is a concise guide and toolbox that fits right in your back pocket and is packed with real-world strategies for navigating tricky camper situations, and for ending each day feeling more confident, capable, and ready to do it all again tomorrow.
Day camp counselors will learn how to
- work more effectively and confidently with your campers;
- interact with campers in healthy and nurturing ways; and
- handle challenging behaviors and situations, such as homesickness, intimidation, and defiance.
New in this edition, you’ll also find a section on behaviors to immediately report to your supervisor and one on how to help campers build character.
