The camp counselor plays the most important role in creating a memorable summer for everyone. The camp community is a very special world where you, the counselor, have the greatest impact on the child's summer experience. As a bunk counselor, you live with the children and care for both their physical and emotional well-being. Your job is to provide a safe and secure environment where the children can learn life skills and grow emotionally. The most important aspect of your job is to serve as a role model for the children. You will teach them life skills by setting an example for them to follow.

In summary, your role at camp will have a great impact on the Island Lake experience for yourself and your campers. You will fall in love with the camp community that you have helped to create, and you will touch the children's lives as strongly as they will change yours. The relationships you form with both the children and your peers will last longer than the summer. They will become a part of who you are.
