65 Camp Counselor Questions And Answers

41⟩ Would you prefer not to work with a certain age group? Why or why not?

I am comfortable working with every age group. Each age group that one works with provides one with insight into the different manners that they need to be dealt with. This is education in itself and I would not like to limit myself despite some age groups providing more challenge than others.

44⟩ How would you describe yourself in ten words or less?

Asking potential hires to describe themselves is a great way to learn more about their personalities. Pay close attention to their response and be certain that you can match their description of themselves with the qualities that you seek in a counselor.

48⟩ How do you handle a medical emergency situation?

I am first aid certified and fully capable of handling medical emergencies. In case of any unfortunate event I provide first aid personally to the affected person. Once the patient is stable I call for professional medical assistance if needed. A nurse also accompanies the summer camps and the situation is usually controlled within the camp.

50⟩ What is your biggest weakness as Camp Counselor?

My biggest weakness is probably that I am impatient. I always like to have something planned and I always like to be on the move. When I have down time or especially when I have to wait for something, I tend to feel impatient and anxious. But I know that this quality will help me always be a step ahead and always have something to do to keep myself and my campers busy.
