Being a camp counselor or life guard shouldn't be treated as a "fun summer activity", it requires actual responsibility and is a JOB. Yeah it is a fun job, but it's so tiring when I'm the only one actually taking these kid's safely into consideration.

Again, I think you should have fun being a camp counselor because if you're not having fun, then the kids aren't either. But you have to think about safety. Today I was filling in for another camp and all of the other counselors got yelled at for sitting together in the shade when we should be spaced out along the perimeter. I love doing this, it's great work, but sometimes people forget that it is also childcare, and any form of childcare has a bunch of responsibilities.
