Nope, and neither can the directors.


Would you rather have a staff hoodie, or a staff jacket?

Staff Jacket

Would you rather work at a week long camp or a month long camp?

week long. I like the turnover. Although I like more when the one week sessions are for the younger girls and two weeks for the older girls!


Rare Bog or The Penguin Song?

rare bog - i prefer the sombie version to the penguin version of that song!

oooops song

staff shirts - all the staff in the same or same design different colors for different departments or all the same except the ad staff?

This is why I want 2 or 3 staff shirts! One for opening day that's all the same, one for "departments" or "rank" or whatever, and a third just for fun!

Staff shirts - Camp Names or Last Names on them?

CAMP NAMES!!!! I want a shirt that says scuttle on the back of it so badly.

Working with the youngest campers or the oldest?

The oldest!

I would love one with Smudge on it! Actually we got shirts printed for the Get together and I was thinking about getting one done with Smudge 1 on the back!

Would you get your own shirt printed or not?

Scuttle?
The lak 2005 shirts had our camp names on the back!

Print your own.

Pick a colour: Purple or red?

well, I typed all this in before realizing that there was another page, so I am going to respond anyway!

for the candy question- that's just plain mean! I know we are there for the whole summer and most of them are only there for 1 week, but we have time each day to eat sweets and chew gum, etc.

smoking at KA- wow, that's a lot of work just for a cigarette! But it totally makes sense that you have to do all that because of the fact that it is an asthma camp!

ok, now for the current quesiton- purple

and now my quesion- classes- 2+ hours a few days a week or 1 hour 5 days a week?

2 hours for two - three days; I'd rather NOT have to drive to campus just to sit there for an hour on a friday.
Or have any classes at all on fridays.


Camp shirts again! Longsleeve or short?

Short
(I hope CD's on here are listening)

one shirt or two?

2 - a long sleeve and short sleeve - that way you can be clean for outgoing, have a fun weekend without worrying about laundry and clean for incoming and then do laundry during the session!

Do you think that you should be provided with a hoodie or jacket as part of uniform or do you think it should be available to buy if you want it?

provided with one


getting waken up at 7 or 7:30 every morning

7 - cos it means you are at breakfast by 8 and you can get more into the day.

every staff member in unit wake up the campers every morning or rotate and only have one person each morning!

every member-- I tried that at my last camp and it didnt work-- some campers said why do I have to get up if the other counselors arent up yet. The counselors in my cabin would get lazy and only pretend to be helping out only when we had our cabin inspections. It would be only 1 or 2 out of the 4 people in the cabin waking kids up and doing 90% of the work while the others sleep or take a shower. The only time I would not have to wake the kids up was on my 24 hour day off.


Sorry for rambling on

evening programs-- all camp activity or unit/village activity

A combination!

shower before the kids are woken, after they have gone to bed or during TO when you dont have better things to do?

During my TO when i have nothing better to do.

Sandals or shoes?

if sandals (and if you know the brands)
Chacos or Tevas?

after they went to bed so I could sleep in a little later

swimming-- morning or afternoon session

Tevas and morning swim for the girls or afternoon for me!

for the campers - assigned beds or just assigned cabins/tents/rooms or totally let them choose?

Assigned beds mix the kids up so they interact more.

Coffee or Orange Juice

OJ

duffel or backpack?

back pack

camera with you always or not?

Not always. For some programs, yes! But when it's your 1000th time to the waterfront, I can pass on the photos. That and my camera is a DSLR so it's HUGE.


When everyone has the weekend off and cam leave camp and do their own thing, does your staff typically hang out together or not?

A bit of both - those who live locally tend to go home (maybe taking someone home with them) while those who cant do this tend to hang out together.

If you are at a camp in a new state (country) would you rather spent TO going to the mall and movies or going to see the local attractions?
