5 Tips for Summer Counselors:

1. Get a clipboard. People always think you’re in charge when you carry one. Make sure there is paper on it.
2. Kids will go further, play harder, and smell worse than you ever thought possible. This is what makes camp the best for them. They need you to push them to it.
3. Camp Food will always be Camp Food. Consider Fasting.
4. Open your lens to a wide angle. Keep your sight on the big picture. Doing so will allow other counselors to have confidence that you’re ready for the next step, and keep kids assured that you have everything under control.
5. Ruin your summer for the greatest summer of your life. If you lay down your hang-ups, you’ll find your kids will too. Then let the fun begin!

Have a great summer Stony Brook!
