Here is another free resource for training summer camp counselors. This slide deck goes over the basics of being a good counselor. The training is designed for new camp counselors or counselors in training. I am planning to use this as a part of my virtual training, but it can be adapted to use however you would like.
This training has some information that is specific to our camp. Feel free to make a copy of the training and make it work for your camp's needs.
The training includes the following topics:
- Counselor Expectations
- Positions at Camp
- Analyzing the Daily Schedule
- Importance of the Counselor
- Qualities of a Good Counselor
- The Good, The Bad, The Ugly Game
- Effects a Counselor has on Campers
This training is based off of my experience in the camp field (8+ years) and information from the American Camping Association. Videos are from The Summer Camp Society. I do own nor did I create any of the videos. The Good, The Bad, The Ugly game is based on a game from Developing a Counselor-in-Training Program for Camps by Eric Nicastro, Jessica Furrie, and Rachel Saslove.
