I know its early, but what is everyone's plan for camp for this year? Has anyone applied to camp, accepted any positions or started looking for a camp to work at this year?

I decided to stay at my usual camp this year. I figured that I will only be able to be a Group Leader for another couple of years so I am going to spend these last few years in this chapter of my camp career enjoying being a Group Leader. Soon I will have to move up the chain so I am trying to enjoy these next few summers to the fullest. I am hoping to be able to move up the chain to a division leader position or even higher which would be awesome! Looking forward to working at camp after this semester of college as maintenance until the camp season starts.

On another note, these message boards are just about dead. I rarely check on here anymore due to the lack of activity. I blame ACA for not making it easier to access this. I cannot even find the link anymore on the ACA website. I had to dig through my browser history to find the link to get here and then save it. It's a shame that ACA does not spend as much time pushing these message boards as they used to. It would be nice to someday see these boards as active as they used to!!


Most days, I cannot tell you what the date is but I can tell you how many days until camp starts!!

I know these boards are almost dead.... I know I have to put in the website myself-- I can not find any links from the ACA (I found these boards from the link on the ACA website when I was preparing to look for a camp job with an ACA camp)

Yeah, it is very sad. I kind of joined during the beginning of the decline of these message boards so I never got to see this in it's prime but I do remember that there were some interesting discussion topics that definitely made me a better counselor by reading them. I guess ACA decided that the Message boards were not worth their time. Would definitely be nice to see some sort of a way for counselors to connect whether it be counselor conferences or even a more modern message boards. Would not be surprised to come on here to see that these were shutdown. They did come out with a counselor's blog but it is just not the same. I hope ACA hears our voices and is doing something about this.
