Wisey on "Being a Counselor"

I went to camp thinking that the job of a counselor was mostly fun: cheering on sports teams, encouraging color war excitement etc. but I found out that the work involved was much more than I expected.

Waking up kids and getting them to go to shacharis
Keeping them quiet during davening
Getting them to do bunk clean-up (especially the ones that have maids at home and are aghast at the idea of doing work)
Getting them to go to breakfast instead of eating the junk food their parents gave them.
Keeping them inside the dining room until bentching
Convincing a kid to take his meds
Getting kids to go to activities instead of playing DS or whatever else they do.
Acting simultaneously as counselor, coach and umpire/ref (cheering on your team and remaining unbiased)
Dealing with complaints about everything

etc. etc.

Try putting 13 ten year olds to bed every night!!!
