Model Citizen (Hooray!)

Nothing beats being a camp counselor.

If ever a person were to choose a time to truly be a role model, being a camp counselor is one of the best ways.  When you're in charge of a group of kids for a couple of days, the best person inside you comes forward: your concern about the environment is at the forefront of your actions, you begin to guide small people in the right direction, you teach.  You model.

Camp counselors help kids understand what "community" really means and how we can support each other while working together.  Camp counselors encourage understanding, acceptance, and inclusion.  Camp counselors work 24-hour days to keep kids safe, happy, and excited.

Hooray for the camp counselor!  Hooray for the counselor who comforts a homesick child; hooray for the counselor that compliments kids when they do a good job.  Hooray!

Hooray for being the best person you can be.
