| A Typical Day in Your Life at Camp: | Though camp is definitely lots of fun, it's not a holiday for staff. The hours are long and often physically demanding. Except during your time off, you spend 24 hours a day with an active group of children. Total working hours may be more than a typical day. You must adapt to the lack of privacy and basic accommodation. You will also be expected to adhere to strict camp rules for campers and staff: no smoking, no drinking of alcoholic beverages and a nightly curfew.All in all, the joy of summer camp more than offsets the hard work. A cheerful, hardworking attitude is a must! | | A Camp Counselor's typical day: | | 7:00 | Reveille | Wake up, get dressed | | 7:30 | Flag raising | The camp assembles to begin the day | | 7:45 | Breakfast | | | 8:45 | Cabin inspection | | | 9:00 | 1st activity period | Arts & crafts, swimming, archery | | 10:30 | 2nd ctivity period | Horseback riding, windsurfing, soccer | | 12:30 | Lunch | | | 13:30 | Rest hour | Write letters, quiet activities in the cabins | | 14:30 | 3rd activity period | Rock climbing, dance, photography | | 16:00 | 4th activity period | Woodwork, riflery, tennis | | 17:30 | Free time | Open swimming | | 18:15 | Dinner | | | 19:15 | Flag lowering | | | 19:30 | Evening activity | All-camp games, movies, campfires | | 21:30 | Lights out, younger kids | | | 22:30 | Lights out, older kids | |
