A Day In The Life
A counselor at Camp Wayne has a difficult but extremely rewarding job. Having the chance to be a role model and mentor for our campers is an incredible opportunity. Working in this environment will strengthen leadership, teamwork and communication skills.
As a counselor, you have two main responsibilities during the day. First and foremost is your responsibility as a bunk counselor. Your and your two co-counselors lead the group of boys living in your bunk. Campers and counselors eat meals together and participate in evening activities together. Before you know it, you and “your boys” will become great friends!
The second responsibility is the role of specialist in your area of expertise. As a specialist, you have the opportunity to instruct campers of all ages in an activity that you have been specifically hired to teach. In addition, many counselors working in our athletic program have the chance to coach intercamp teams throughout the summer.
Our staff is very important to us. Everyone works diligently to teach, supervise and counsel our campers. We, as Directors, recognize our counselors efforts and plan a variety of co-ed activities to make the summer experience enjoyable and exciting for everyone. Staff activities include our annual Counselor Show, bowling parties, staff luau, square dance parties, movie nights, and basketball, soccer, hockey, tennis, and volleyball games against staff from other camps.
