Who is camp for anyways?

So my first blog post is a complete rant. I have been a camp concilor for three summers and working at camp in various other capacities for an additional two full years. I am sure however that you don't need my experience to know that camp is for kids. I was out tonight playing a wide game for guys night and I experienced one of my greatest pet peevs; councilors arguing rules to get the advantage for their team! Hey guys grow up!!! We play the games to make sure the game is fair not to make our team win! What the heck, nobody is going to care or remember who won a meaningless wide game as long as they had fun but I absolutly gaurentee they'll remember the councilors arguing the whole time and the alegations of cheating. Do the words "integrity" and "selflessness" mean nothing to you? Tiff I know you're with me on this one but really I think all camp junkies should be on the same page; camp is for the kids. If you don't agree with me than you don't belong in this business. No that isn't short sighted arrogance, it's just simple truth. People who can focus there energy on the kids, people who enjoy spending time and doing things for their campers, they are the ones who will forever impact the lives of campers in a positive way. I have been too a camp where councilors weren't there for the campers and I hated it. I was eventualy convinced to go to another camp and those guys were all about us, always hanging with us and going the extra mile and it rocked. In fact it's what got me into camp counciling. I love what I do and I just want too keep camp for the kids, because for a lot of them we can make this the best part of their childhood.
