Camp is for the camper - Connie Coutellier

An essential handbook for camp counsellors, this book covers the critical issues counsellors need to know when dealing with groups of campers. Topics include responsibilities as a role model, tips to survive the stress of supervising campers for the first time, characteristics and program considerations for specific age groups, and suggestions for reinforcing positive behaviour as well as handling inappropriate behaviour among campers. This book also serves as a discussion starter for counsellor training, with information on camper behaviour, age characteristics, and group development stages.
