I like the way my director runs our staff training. We run it to the same schedule we run camp. We do all of the activities that our kids would do, and learn how to teach them. If a returning counselor taught canoeing frequently during the previous summer, they are generally allowed to teach the canoeing training. Same with Archery, Swimming, Horses, etc. The only actual bookwork we did was a couple hours every afternoon. Not bad at all really.
